Maritime satellite is a disaster! I will be able to communicate in six more days. I am in internet withdrawal………
Jane Goodall is right. Apes are magnificent and so incredibly human. Look at their eyes……..

Gibraltar is gorgeous. You must visit and meet the real king of the mountain! They love to monkey around (even though they are Barbary Apes!) They don’t seem too impressed by us…who can blame them, some humans actually feed them M&M’s for heavens sakes! They aren’t the least bit afraid of us either, although some humans shrieked in their presence which frightened me. Just goes to show they are wise old apes…..

they look gentle
Yes they were docile, but still wild animals!
Hi,Cindy.Welcome back from your trip.Our cousins indeed are intelligent!
They are and I am still traveling!!! 🙂
They certainly look like they are deep in thought, nice shots 🙂
Thank you and I agree with you!
Stunning!! Cindy, your photography is pure delight. I love it. 🙂
My fav is #6.
So very kind of you Blu! Thank you for the reblog. I am honored~
Reblogged this on LIFE AND LOVE and commented:
Cindy’s magic. Nice!
Wonderful photos, Cindy. They are exceedingly cheeky, and we were warned by our guide not to walk around with foo on display. I saw one snatch a guy’s packet of chips from his hand. One of the Barbarys even followed us onto the coach, and had to be chased off. 😀
Yes this is because people feed them junk food!
Incredible captures! Thanks so much for sharing them. 😀
Thank you for appreciating them!
They’re beautiful 🙂
I agree with you! Thank you~
How in the world did you know they are my cousins? I have never been on “Ancestors.com.”
It was the intelligence in their eyes. Dead giveaway.
Flattery wins again!
Wait a minute, Cindy…, I think I know one of these guys. He lives just down the block !!! As always, great pics, Cuz. Tell me you’re having a great time !

Yep!! I am and I am in Rome now, in a quiet part, among the rooftops. Glorious!
Handsome apes.
I agree! Thank you~
I think that I may be in love.
Hilarious!! With all, or are you promiscuous!!!!!
these are so amazing…these fellows definitely show intelligence… nice to have you back for a bit!
Aren’t they magificent!! Thank you Heather and yes I am back on land now in Rome~
Wow Cindy just great photos. How close did you get for those shots. Are they aggressive at all?
I could have touched them, but I am not super stupid. They were not aggressive, but they are wild animals and certainly could be if threatened in some way.
Very nice photos, Cindy! They really reflect the personalities of these wonderful creatures!
Yes thank you Becky!! I think so too~
Kongo’s kind of town. He will be in Paris in a few days. Intersecting time zones!
Funny. We are in Rome now, my bother and his family in Florence!!! Small world~
That’s our trip next year
Cindy, interesting tweak back to our ancestors! I did not know you could get so close. Love that up close and personal stuff.
I love close ups of wild critters too, thank you, especially the eyes.
I was just on top of The Rock a few weeks ago. It was an amazingly reflective experience for me, and I’m so glad we had the opportunity…
It is a pretty unusual place isn’t it, with Morrocco almost close enough to touch and The Pilars of Hercules. I’ve been twice and would still like to return. I am glad you have been there. It makes a lasting impression~
