EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming snapshot captured by Alf Markey, we are transported back to the summer of 1973 at Blackpool Zoo. The photograph showcases a tender moment between a newly born white rhino and its mother, Mopane. Named Nykasi, this adorable little rhino steals the show with its innocent charm. The image exudes pure joy as Nykasi playfully nuzzles against Mopane's massive frame. Their bond is palpable, reminding us of the strong maternal instincts that exist in the animal kingdom. As they stand side by side on the lush green grass, it is evident that their connection goes beyond mere survival; it is rooted in love and protection. This scene not only captures our attention but also transports us to an era when wildlife conservation was gaining momentum worldwide. It serves as a reminder of how zoos like Blackpool played a vital role in raising awareness about endangered species such as rhinoceroses. Alf Markey's skillful composition allows us to witness this precious moment frozen in time—a testament to his talent for capturing nature's beauty through his lens. This nostalgic photograph from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a simpler time when innocence prevailed and reminds us of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures for future generations to cherish.
