monkey playing at Jigokudani

OK, for those of you who follow me for my architecture photos (that is to say, about 98.3% of you), you may want to take the next day or say to step out, stretch your legs, or something. Because there may be a few more gratuituous shots of snow monkeys headed your way.

By the way, this was shot with a 35mm WIDE ANGLE lens. NOT a telephoto. Yes, I was that close. (And no, I don't recommend trying to photograph wildlife with a wide-angle lens, but it's all I brought with me on this trip).

Such a face.

Many monkeys live in and around this old abandoned temple. Central Taiwan

A monkey, I forgot what kind

A woolly monkey - probably my favorite of the monkeys - relaxes at a primate rehab and rescue center near Puyo in Ecuador's Amazon basin.

张家界－金鞭溪 －猴王出世

For those of you who know the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. This macaque is exactly like the monkey king in the novel.

Shot near Golden Whip River in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern part of Hunan province, China. Macaques are frequently spotted alongside the walking path along the river, begging for food from tourists in the park.
