I just wanted to highlight Isobel’s post that I re-blogged this morning, it’s something that I feel passionate about so if you could just take a look at these beautiful creatures and go over to sign on the link from earlier it would be wonderful. http://isobelandcat.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/save-the-orangutans/

We like it here, but it would be better if there was enough food and nice trees deep in the forest.

Here is our forest

My cousin is hiding up there, he has darker fur than I do because he chooses all his own food!

Will you help to make sure that the baby grows up to have babies too?

Can you see all those rows of trees? They are taking over our habitat and we need help so that we can survive.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey

Posted on Posted in Borneo, Photography, Travel, Weekly Photo ChallengeTagged , , , , , , , , 39 Comments

The weeks photo challenge is what I like to do most of all – journey! A journey for me is to be as far away from my normal world as possible, not necessarily in distance, but  in culture, landscape, climate and  experience. So the photo I have chosen was taken in Borneo, the greatest distance I have travelled, so far, and as this is in rain forest it’s really different from temperate England. This is the Kinabatanga river in Sabah.

Poisonous green snakes nestled in the trees and wild orang utans and proboscis monkeys were up there too. If you check out a post from last year you will be able to read more about this particular journey. https://lucidgypsy.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/nests-of-primates/
