A day at the zoo

Three weeks ago I went to the zoo with my sis and youngest niece. We picked out the right day, because the weather during the rest of the week wasn't very good. But that Saturday it was perfect. Originally we planned to go a week earlier, but because of the bad weather forecast we cancelled.

I manage to take some okay shots. Not as much as I wanted, but with an eight year old you can't hang around at some place for a long time to wait for that perfect shot. They will get bored and they're right. Nothing more boring than observing an uncle walking from side to side to find the right spot and angle. We had a nice day and my niece really enjoyed it.

I planning to visit a zoo soon by myself, so I can take as much time as I please. But so far the weather has been pretty shitty. Hopefully we'll have a few nice days. I would like to do some more photography before autumn kicks in.

Anyway here are a few shots from our day at the zoo.

A visit to the Zoo part 2

Here is serie 2 from my visit to the zoo at Dierenpark Emmen as promised. I think comment is unnecessary.

A visit to the Zoo part 1

Now I'm finished with my selection of pics from our trip to Bavaria last year I still have to do some catching up with posting pics. This time some pics from a daytrip I made to the zoo of Emmen, called Dierenpark Emmen or also called Noorder Dierenpark.

The zoo is considered as one of Europe's finest and won several prizes. It's sure is a nice zoo. Because I forgot an extra battery for my camera I ended up with a flat battery after a few hours while I would have like to take many more pictures. I'm pretty sure I will go back again to this zoo. So this time you have to do it with this selection. The second serie I will post tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

I think these pictures don't need much comment. Most of them will speak for themselves.

Here you will find the original website of the zoo (only in Dutch and German).
