Monkeys at Batu Cave

Batu Cave, a very famous place of worship to the Hindu devotees around this region, is so full of mystique and legends. It is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is also a place where monkeys breed freely and roam wild.

My subjects here had particularly captured my attention. It shows motherly love and at the same time it also shows an expression of caution while I’m snapping it away. I just love her expression. I hope you will like it too. If you would like to view more, please visit my blog. Cheers!

  1. Proof positive that great portraits don’t necessarily have to be of humans! Great work, Ace.

    The love of a mother for her children isn’t just a human phenomenon. It is in fact common among most species. Wonderful, wonderful photograph.

    Mr. Rouse, of all the outstanding “Pictures of the Day” you have published, this is probably my favorite. It is sooooo beautiful in a number of ways.

    Thanks for liking it my friends!

    Yup is very true, sometime animals do show us a more human side. The motherly love was universal, even our mother earth had shown us love and mercy no matter how filial humans toward the mother (earth) …

    Hope I can post another one here soon. Cheers!
