    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks everyone. The Calgary Zoo has done a fantastic job with their habitats. The Gorillas enclosure is very warm and humid, so I'm sure the kids were sleepy. I love the way they all seem to be ignoring the other.

    They had recently been 'fed' -the food was hidden all over the enclosure, and the gorillas were hard at work finding it.
    There is a path behind the habitat that goes to a second floor 'observation station' that does not have glass between the habitat and the people - hence the view that looks like I am on the inside. While we were there the keepers did take a random viewer into the back with them - really cool. Primatology was my favorite option at University - I could watch the primates for hours on end.......
