Contemplating

Autumn is here and almost gone ... a break from Iceland

Banff National Park, Canada

I have a few heroes. Frans de Waal and Frans Lanting are two of them. Frans Lanting is one of the best nature photographers, who won many awards, and Frans de Waal is one of the leading primatologists in the world, who's books I can recommend to everybody who wants to know something about our closest relatives, the Bonobo and the Chimpansee. As a young biology student I attended a college given by de Waal, before he went to America to become a professor.

De Waal and Lanting made a wonderful book about the Bonobo (Bonobo, the forgotten ape), the most elegant great ape IMO, and the pictures there were very inspirational. So when Ouwehand Zoo started a Bonobo group, I went and tried to make a few nice shots of which this is one.

Although I am not completely happy with the whole series (and I probably have to go back) I like this portrait of a young Bonobo who more or less is in deep thought.

Some caught and others didn't

Stift Zwettl - Austria

Going through Taman Safari Park and getting up close and personal with the orangutans, yielded some unusual portraits. Indonesia has done such a great job of trying to save this species from extiction and I doubt that it has been easy. I'm sure that this man of the forest would rather be in his habitat, but the rain forest is being cut down for palm oil for human consumption.

Please accept my kind gratitude for your attention!

Seagulls are little thieves and are smart in their own way. This seagull not only helped himself to our lunch but he went down on the rocks contemplating whether or not to catch a fish. He never did get that fish however.
