Taking a Bath

Taking a Bath

A juvenile monkey (Macaca fuscata) taking a bath in the hot spring of Jigokudani yaenkoen which is situated close to Nagano, Japan.

A group of monkeys is coming down from the snowy mountains every day to have a bath in the hot water.

  • Fabulous close-up of a monkey in a stunning environment. Its eyes are really remarkable!
    A focal length of 20 mm? Does this mean you could touch the animal?

  • An enchanting shot. Just wonder who supplies the towels?

  • It's face is so animated it almost doesn't look real. Kind of reminds me of a creature from a graphics movie. What a moment you've captured.

  • Its an amazing capture. I don't agree with sherri, after looking into the eyes of the monkey. U got any amazing capture. Keep the spirit.

  • Great capture of this snow monkey!

  • This is a great shot, really admire how you got up so close with your 20mm to the macaque.

    I photographed monkeys there a few years back, really nice spot. Hard to get to in the snow though...
