This photo is from my first camera in 2014, the Canon SX50. A wire sculpture of a monkey riding a bike. I edited in Topaz Studio 1/PSE 17 and added a distressed texture to it.

The Galtaji Monkey Temple near Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India is a popular tourist and Hindu pilgrim destination. The site, which dates back to the 1500's, consists of a series of Hindu temples built into a narrow crevice in the hills that surround Jaipur. Water from a natural spring flows into a series of sacred pools (kunds) in which pilgrims bathe and youths play. The site is also famous for the numerous monkeys (rhesus macaques and langur monkeys) that live there and entertain the visitors.

The Spectacled Langur is also known as the Dusky Leaf Monkey or Spectacled Leaf Monkey. They belong to the Cercopithecidae family and are found in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.
As one of the many leaf eating (folivorous) monkey species, the Spectacled Langur gets his name from the white rings around his eyes which make him look like he is wearing glasses (spectacles).
Yucatan Howler Monkey
Community Baboon Sanctuary, Belize
I had seen many howler monkeys before, and heard many howler monkeys before, but this was the first time that I actually SAW howlers HOWLING. It is a visceral experience. Your brain tells you that you are probably safe, but your gut tells you something very different.
These monkeys roam free and are protected by the community of residents that have promised to keep them safe. Imagine that! Belize is a pretty cooled out place.
The monkeys who are lucky enough to call this beautiful area home are so much fun to watch. Sacred Monkey Forest is in the heart of Bali in the wonderful village of Ubud, home of artists and creative folks. Undoubtedly, this small haven for monkeys made up of mature green plants and trees is also one of my favorite areas to visit in the world

Red titi monkeys are New World monkeys, a term describing monkeys from South and Central America. Red titi monkeys have coarse fur which varies in colour across the body. Their undersides and the sides of the face are red, their backs are a darker brown and they have a white band across the brow.
The Grivet Monkey is only found in the Horn Of Africa. This one was seen in Awash, Ethiopia and approached closely as it watched us eating our al fresco meal.

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in length from about 50 centimetres (20 in) for males to about 40 centimetres (16 in) for females.
In addition to very interesting behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males changing groups at the time of sexual maturity. The most significant studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition and particular predator sightings.
I have always loved the monkeys at the Zoo!

Monkeys are common to be spotted in the streets of Rishikesh. This image was captured during my stay at Into The Unknown Hostel near Laxhman Jhula, Rishikesh. It was ironic, because the painting below the fencing ‘Monkey Crossing’, was painted the same day I captured this image.
The green monkeys found in Barbados originally came from Senegal and the Gambia in West Africa approximately 350 years ago. About 75 generations have occurred since these monkeys arrived in Barbados and, as a result of environmental differences and evolution, the Barbados monkeys today have different characteristics than those in West Africa.
The monkeys are found mainly in the parishes of St.John, St.Joseph, St.Andrew and St.Thomas, where much natural vegetation and woodlands still exist. However, monkeys can also be seen traveling through hotel grounds in St.Peter and St.James.
