Guess Where I am?



I went to Taronga park Zoo yesterday and it was sizzling, this delightful lady was forced to try and find a cool spot outside while her mate lay flat on his back in the relative cool of the inside enclosure. He was that large though that I wasn't game to use the flash to snap him for fear of annoying him, the glass didn't look THAT strong to me, so I understand her plight, and anyway Bubs got plenty to drink.

From the looks of that bridge I'm guessing Sydney. Poor mama looks like she is suffering from heat stroke!! Hope you are having an awesome holiday.

Awwwh! Poor baby and Mama. Hope everything is okay. Beautiful town, Sydney. And great shots.

The photos I've previously seen of the Sydney Opera House always made it look huge. Here in you photo, it looks small compared to the surroundings and especially that bridge!

Hear there are some wildfires down under. Hope you aren't near any of them.

She looks positively miserable in the heat. At least she's in the shade. (And Junior doesn't seem bothered at all--as long as lunch is handy!)

I don't know where you are but hope you're far away from the fires.

Wow, Sydney is beautiful - look at all that sunshine and blue! And that poor mom, I don't think it is heat stroke - I think she is thinking she needs a drink because her kid is driving her NUTS! :)

Hope you are enjoying your vacation!!

Hmmmm.... just like the male to be laying prone in the most comfortable spot in the home while the female tends to the offspring regarless of the obstacles... Nice shot though - really captures the uncomforatble situation.

Oh, poor Mama, she looks worn and tired. Hope everything went well after all.

I have never been in Australia, but from the pictures I have seen I thought the opera house was MUCH larger!

Very good pictures, as usual. :)

Have you done the bridge climb? I have that on my list of things to do! Hope you're having a marvelous time despite the heat and the scary Poppa!

I really like animal photos and you captured a very maternal moment. Maternal doen't always mean easy or rewarding!

Oh she looks so weary, poor lady - and has to wear a fur coat!

Glad you are OK.

Great and uncommon view of Sydney. The gorilla shot makes me sad...

Your shot of Sydney looks like a post card....nice! And you really captured the misery of Mom and Baby Gorilla.

Every one else said that your in Sidney so it must be Sidney. Mom looks tuckered out from the heat. Great shot.
