BLOG

Photography has changed the way I see the world around me.

Through it I discover new things and rediscover old ones. Like my island, New Caledonia.

This blog is just me sharing my world through my photography.

Hope you enjoy.

IWATAYAMA MONKEY PARK

ARASHIYAMA, JAPAN 

photo of the day

I was a little apprehensive of the Iwatayama Monkey Park, thinking I may see some of them in poorly maintained cages and even mistreated but nothing could’ve been further from the truth. I knew there were monkeys running freely in the open but pleasantly surprised to see all them free to roam. The only cage was the resting place, shop and feeding area all in one. And that’s for the humans. It’s to protect us from the monkeys potentially snatching or worst attacking for food. I overheard someone say it was the first time he’d seen an animal looking at humans in a cage. A minute later I snapped this photo.
