We went to Barrydale, some 50km away over a mountain pass for brunch yesterday when we came upon a huge congress of baboons all over the road. Most ran and hid when we slowed down for a photo but we did manage to get a few good shots in
V2 - more baboons on the retaining wall in the Tradouws pass.

Morning Herman. Not a big fan of monkeys Tongue
V1 for me though, a lovely shot. How nice it must be to be able to get animals in the wild Grin

V1 is tops. Even although detail is gone in their eyes, you caught their fur most beautifully. Great opportune captures, Herman. In the right place at the right time!

I m on the same wavelength as Kathryn, not keen on monkeys at all, but two excellent captures, especially V.1. Carol

A nicely captured family group in contrasty light, Herman. The shadowed eyes do give a slightly sinister appearance to them.
