Please follow! Suggestions and submissions are welcome.
Stop hugging me now… please, get off… oh, alright.
If anyone would be willing/able to help out posting for the next month or so while I am occupied with exams and NaNoWriMo, please send me a message in my ask box
Entangled tails
Photographer’s notes:
Japanese macaques (macaca fuscata), also known as snow monkeys, like to bathe in the warm water of the natural hot springs. With outside temperatures below freezing and a constant water temperature of 42C, who can blame them?
These photogenic animals have become used to humans wanting to photograph them, so they are not shy and stay very relaxed in human presence. This little one however seemed to think ‘Oh no, not again!’ when one of the participants on our Japan workshop tried to take a photograph.
What I like about this scene, is the almost human-like expression, and the fact that the camera lens makes the young macaque look even smaller than it already is.
My notes:
Yet another reason Japan rocks my socks and I should go there.
