Visit of The Apes

Oh ya.... The apes did give us a visit ..Early in the morning at 7.30 ... on a weekday...

1st sighting:

Well to imagine that one cud see a monkey in the bang middle of a city like Nagpur is something that i wudnt have believed until it actually happened... & Thankfully my mate Ashish had his digicam handy with some useful zoom lenses that helped us catch this rogue in a chip ...

Well this new flat that we moved to recently has an amazing, small terrace with a Jaamun tree overhanging... & This Jamun tree was what attracted the 2 black faced monkeys commonly called Langur...

We were at first wary of going too close lest it attacked so we preferred to watch n shoot it from inside our house... A long tail n a black face .. the monkey was living upto its name, innocently plucking Jamuns (black berry) from the tree and eating it while keeping a watchful eye on us...

Well we managed to sneak closer to it, gaining courage with every snap we took and at one point Ash was at the edge of the terrace with the primate at a distance of 5 meters ..

At one time, he was in a playful mood... lying down on da tree branch, staring at us n da camera... Dats da one below...






hmm... here are some more of da pics






















We were delayed to for work dat day but the experience was amazing... Just having nature so close to ur daily life is a nice thing... :-)

Cheers..
