We're waiting....

Something about this troop of baboons seen in Tsavo West really gave me a chill, the intensity of their stares I guess, and the buddha-like pose of the little guy in front.

@Scotfot: Hey, welcome back! I had this as my desktop photo for a little while, but found it too strange.

Perhaps the darkness of their masks? Cool photo. I love seeing the photos you take. They are such an exotic contrast to the things I see in my daily travels.

@Henry: Thanks, Henry! But Massachusetts is a beautiful place as well, and full of variety. And your photos are extremely professional, quite inspiring as I try to improve the quality of mine.

I know what you mean. I encountered some birds recently who sent shivers down my spine, they stayed utterly still and just stared without blinking, quite unnerving. Love this shot, it's just perfect how they're all sitting and I love the colours.
