National Zoological Park
the only thing that's not captivated is the audience

Me and a friend, Ana went to the zoo. There are a lot of animals there, not like the San Diego Zoo, but way cooler than the Pittsburgh Zoo. (And I hear it's no comparison to the Oakland Zoo.) I tried to take some good shots of the little monkeys but they were either too far away for my wide-angle lens or too jittery to take a good picture of under the lighting conditions. Finally one of the wee primates went into a stare resulting in this picture. I imagine this is like the drive thru version of real wildlife photography!

(It's nicer to think of as a nursing home than as a prison. Either way the inhabitants go crazy.)
