Zoo 8th December 2008

The light was fantastic today so I went and shot in the more open side of the zoo again to make decent images of the viewing platforms and enclosures.  I am not worried about using these for my project at the moment, more just trying to get as many of the things I want shot done before I leave China in a couple of weeks.

I will post some images shortly but the biggest highlight was watching the zebra.  Think I may be loosing the plot a bit cos I was stood waiting for a groundskeeper to move so I could shoot the enclosure and daydreaming of midgets riding zebras in a cavalry charge.

Oh, and I came across what I believe was some Emu.  Never seen them up so close before and didn’t automatically recognise them without Rod Hull’s arm being elbow deep in one’s rear end…  Weird thing that caught my attention with them though was the sound they make, much like someone banging a bongo type drum!

Shot the rest of the viewing structures including the ones I did a few weeks ago that inspired this concept, despite having to make a dash through the gates to stop a suicidal emu following me into the hyena and wolf area. One of the Hyena’s was on heat as well and so they were all very boisterous today.  Made it round to the bear enclosure just as the light was disappearing and so the colours were all pastel hues but could only make some images because the main thoroughfare to the lions had been sealed off since my last visit.
