Monkey Forest

Spent the Day at Monkey Forest. The 140 Barbary Macaques monkeys roam freely in a 60-acre forest. As you enter the park you will observe the monkeys living in their fascinating society, as they would in the wild. No cages or bars, your right in there with them.

I used the new Sony Alpha 200 with a Sigma 600mm F8 lens and a 70-300mm Sigma zoom.

My name is Brian and I am a treeoholic. There I said it :o)

This was taken last weekend while out walking with friends. Every time I took a photo Michelle would say “another tree photo” or “Did you get a nice shot of the tree” so the title is from her. I like the light and the sky on this shot, not just the tree.

Thanks for putting up with my Oddness and dragging me out :o) really enjoyed the day.
