so today I took a trip to the zoo (probably the first in 10 years) and I got nearly 700 pictures, this one really stood out to me however, it just seems to show the feelings of a childs first trip to the zoo :)

I think it shows the feelings of the gorilla much better!

haha, thanks for the comments.

and yes, the gorilla does seem to be bored out of his mind, which just adds to the whole thing :)

Wonderful capture. Is this from the Jacksonville Zoo?

Really good shot. It looks as if the gorilla is free and the children are confined. Zoos are wonderful places for photography. My family has a membership in the Philadelphia Zoo.

yes, it's from the opposite side of the gorilla area. It's a really nice zoo, there's some great animals there.


And I started wondering about the cell phone thing, the other gorilla in the area was doing that too, it's almost like they are making fun of all the people who come by with cell phones.


thanks for all the comments.
