Monkeys bonding by cleaning ticks out of each other
This shot was on Shidoshima Island on a nice warm day. I had a chance to hang with the locals as no other humans were around so they seemed to not mind me after awhile.

A monkey crosses on a power line in the snow covered mountains of Kyoto. Nothing stops the mountain locals from foraging for food even during bleak freezing temperatures. Wild monkeys are prevalent in the Kyoto mountains but not easy seen due to their reserved nature and are easily spooked.
