Description Falco biarmicus 

Nothing quite evokes freedom than that of a bird in flight (in my opinion ).

Photographs of birds in flight have never failed to amaze me. But those leashes/strings(?) around the Falcon's legs are a bit disturbing

They are not disturbing. They allow the falconer to hold the bird in a gloves hand without hurting it.

Ahhhhhhhh! Never knew that Well, I redact my previous statement ^.^ And turn it into a complement, congratulating the...ingenuity and foresight of the leash/string XD

I disagree, I'm sorry. No when you see those leashes around bird's legs. Keeping birds in captivity just for the sake of watching them hunting is deeply egoistic, in my opinion.  
Regarding the picture, it's fantastic.

I did not actually ask your opinion. and when birds are bred and looked after at the world renowned ICBP then I fail to see how iit isegoistic. Also this was a flying demonstration, not a hunting party.

I apologize, I didn't know where the photo was taken (well, nobody except you knew it, actually). I love birds and Nature, this is the reason I deeply dislike falconry (despite my opinion not being  asked for, I know ) But perhaps this particular bird was bred with educational purposes or something like that.
I keep on saying the picture is superb, but I'm afraid I'll keep on feeling a bit of sadness.

And, although it has nothing to do, I'm from Burgos, a town where I think you have been. Just gossip, I hope you will forgive me
