close encounter

A surreal moment when a rather large and intimidating gorilla approached the glass window where I was crouching with my camera pressed up against the glass. I have a series as he approaches and finally fills the frame, quite possibly looking beyond me at my young son behind. After we both pulled back a bit he fixed me with an unblinking level stare until I turned away.
