I think it's a monkey at least. He's taking a nap on a tree, but I cannot help but think he's a bit sad too.

The silvered leaf monkey, also known as the silvery lutung or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. They inhabit mangrove swamps and coastal forest regions, and generally avoids travelling far from coasts or rivers. Usually found in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, these two live in Jungle World at the Bronx Zoo.
There were quite a few monkeys in the temple area. People feed them nuts and fruits
I trudged upto this fella and decided to do a portrait - closeup
He just ducked back when i took the camera close to his face ... instinctively i guess
And very soon he returned to his munching ways,
guess he sensed that the camera and me were harmless after all

Face to face with a Bonnet Macaque
Scientific Name : Macaca radiata
The original is a portrait of the same monkey that I'd posted earlier - except that in this frame, the monkey was staring at me. Experimented with a crop, liked what I saw, and kept it. :-)
