Wistful Monkey

Wistful Monkey...Marwell Zoo...September 2005

From sunsets to monkeys...you can't say we don't give ya variety here now, can ya...! This shot was taken whilst wandering around Marwell zoo, which we went to for an old family friend's 50th wedding anniversary. It was a very pleasant day (despite being grey and overcast) with plenty of photo opportunities - you'll probably see a few more of those images crop up on here as time goes by...! Anyway, the above shot was inside the monkey house and shot through glass - fortunately there weren't too many greasy fingerprints or reflections, making this shot possible. I just like the way he's looking up to the sky - I get to be anthropomorphic here and make out that he's a little bit wistful. Either way, I think it's pretty nice....!
