Description

This was taken at Arashiyama Monkey Park. there are no cages. You can wander freely amongst the Japanese Macaques, Which can cause some problems (we were attacked a few times, and my camera bag was temporarily owned by one of the larger males). Its amazing the range of emotions and expressions you see, and its especially great to get up close to the younger monkeys.
