Species: Japanese Macaque | Location: Jigokudani Monkey Park, Japan

Our group was visiting the snow monkeys in Japan. Unfortunately there was no snow. We spent 1 1/2 days with the monkeys and had lots of time to observe them. As the second day was winding down, I noticed that the sun was going to be behind a wall where some of the monkeys had been walking. I set up the camera and waited until a monkey walked into the frame.

About The Photographer

Cropped marianbrazilsm

I'm a world traveler who has been traveling the globe for the past 15 years, visiting places that are being most impacted by global warming. My initial photography interest was in macros of plants and flowers, but once I obtained a longer lens, I became an avid wildlife photographer. I enjoy visiting off-the-beaten-path places and capturing images of the flora and fauna. I also enjoy sharing these images and experiences with others through my web site and personal presentations.
