Oh My!
You know how the word Awesome can be overused, and loses its context! Well, I cant tell you here right now – that this is bloody awesome. Awesome in the highest degree.
Is this the same fella as in Dignified Steve? It sure looks like him. Do you know his name?
I so love this, and have to have it on my wall with the other one, and the other two in my cart.

When I was young living in NYC I use to go at lunch time to visit a very sad gorilla who was housed in the central park zoo (mostly in a small cage). He was so sad and his eyes told the story of his unhappiness there. So each day I would go talk to him a bit. Since then they closed that restrictive zoo and built a bigger zoo with more natural habitat. But it’s so nice to see these in the wild, I just wish they were more protected from pochers. The are truely our human brothers. Thanks for the wonderful photographs. Very lucky you are to visit them in their natural habitat.

your images of these amazing creatures touch the heart…... what soulful eyes, what majestic “people”..... I enjoyed reading your words too….

Very arresting. Magnificent shot. Priceless detail exactly where you want it, perfectly assessed depth of field. Can’t rip my eyes off him. Or his eyes. Makes ya wanna reach out and stroke that beautiful soft fur on his brow and head (‘cept he’d probably rip me bloody arm off).

All the impressively descriptive words are used up so I’ll just say BigWOW!!! Nice shot. I guess it’s the natural shape of the mouth but I’m not all that sure I’d want to be a few meters away from someone this ‘angry-looking’ who could rip me in half before I even knew he was grabbing me!!!
