Assam on the back of a chair in the living room in our former house in California in June of 2013. She was wearing a tunic not due to chilly weather but to protect her skin from pollen (from which she had an allergy) and from herself - she used to groom herself excessively and the tunic essentially stopped that. I don't know what Assam is looking at, but she appears to be curious...
Good old buzzing days! 15909 Avadh Assam Express heading towards Barauni Junction hauled by SGUJ WDP-4 20084
Picture of Assam from 3 July 2002 when we lived in California. I think I may have converted this to grayscale with dithering, but it was so long ago I don't remember.
Assam enjoying a convenient sunbeam in the kitchen of our old house in Yubari in 2016. She loved this spot and basically ruled the kitchen as her kingdom.
Between the time I sold our house in California and actually flying to Japan, there was no place for Assam to live, so I made arrangements with one of our vets to board her. I was still busy cleaning out a storage unit of stuff so while I was staying at hotels, I tried to visit Assam every day. On this particular day, I remember to bring her favorite brush and she was clearly very happy I did so.
A freight bound for Lumding is ready to depart after crossing a southbound counterpart. The hill section of the former Assam Bengal Railway was running at full capacity as it used to be the only and most vital link between Assam and the Tripura, Mizoram and Manipur States. This station lays nowaday derelict since it was replaced by the 'New Haflong' station deeper in the valley on the new broad gauge line. February 2003
Assam trying to decide where her favorite spot in the kitchen in Yubari should be. She eventually decided behind my chair at the table was the best...
Assam in early May of 2017, guarding the front of the heater from pesky cats who may steal it from her.

Las poblaciones de macacos de assam (Macaca asssamensis) parece que se van reduciendo lentamente como consecuencia de la caza y la pérdida de hábitats. Se distribuye por el sudeste asiático desde Nepal y norte de la India (también es conocido como macaco del Himalaya) hasta Vietnan y Camboya, pasando por Bután, Myanmar, Laos, Tailandia y sureste de China. Vive en bosques tropicales y subtropicales hasta un cierta altitud en las montañas, en bosques de robles, rododendros, cedros, etc. a menudo a lo largo de los cursos de agua. Sin embargo, en algunos lugares se ha convertido en comensal del hombre y prospera a nuestro alrededor. Estas imágenes están tomadas en Kathmandu, donde los podemos encontrar en algunos templos. Allí son directamente alimentados por los fieles y visitantes, o indirectamente con las ofrendas que estos dejan para sus divinidades. Plátanos, frutas, arroz, maíz, cereales u otros alimentos se han vuelto aquí en la base de su alimentación. El de la imagen parece estar comiendo uno de esos panes típicos que se consumen por toda Asia, conocidos como chapatis, en el templo hindú de Pashupatinath, mientras que el bebé macaco de la imagen previa lo pude fotografiar en el budista de Swayanbhunath, también conocido como el templo de los monos (¿por qué será?).
De esta imagen me vuelvo a quedar con esa mirada perdida de este macho adulto, que tan humana me parece; se diría que está ensimismado pensando en algo también.
Un saludo.
