Jungle Den
Battling on/off rainy weather, we ventured out to the Auckland Zoo today. Some animals looked to enjoy the rain, others indifferent, and then the rest – the primates all sheltered out of vision, keeping dry.
Armed with the Olympus e-500 I got a number of shots today. Some good, some average. With the larger zoom, it had troubles with focusing today in the average light. Even though todays image is in B&W, I still enjoy the colour from this older four thirds DSLR.
Todays shot, the Chimpanzee enclosure, was captured just after one chimp swung out to check the weather, and then back under the building out of sight and in shelter. Using Gimp I converted to B&W after first tweaking the separate colour channels.
Towards the Journey

Been a busy week with little time to write. Almost the weekend though, so hopefully I will find some time then!
Walking the Path
Sony Nex 5N with Kit Zoom.
Escape from the City
Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow
Can’t stick around, have to keep moving on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out
Must keep on moving ahead
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead
Trusting in what you can’t see
Take my lead I’ll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through prove it to you
Follow me!
Oh yeah!
Danger is lurking around every turn
Trust your feelings, got to live and learn
I know with some luck that I’ll make it through
Got no other options, only one thing to do
I don’t care what lies ahead
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead
Find the next stage, no matter what that may be
Take my lead, I’ll set you free
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, follow me
Follow me, set me free
Trust me and we will escape from the city
I’ll make it through, prove it to you
Follow me!
Follow me!
I’ll make it through, oh yeah!

The Pathless Bush
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar.
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Lord Byron
Trees of the Park
Just let there be a forest and there is sure to be a forest spirit
(Russian proverb)
Calm Days End
He who knows he has enough is rich.
