These “snow monkeysโ like nothing more than soaking in a hot-spring bath in winter. This is my interpretation of the Warmth theme.

Brilliant shot. Great clarity. I absolutely LOVE monkeys, so seeing this photo made me happy ๐ The monkey in focus looks a bit grumpy, as if the water isn’t hot enough ๐

Great shot …. was it taken in Jigokudani Monkey Park, Japan? Those monkeys have become famous… clever creatures for finding the warmth of the natural ‘hot-tub’ in the geothermal springs.

Yes, Jigokudani Monkey Park indeed! Since you’re interested in wildlife, I assume you have been there too?

Yes, have visited although in the height of summer when the temperature was blazing and the ‘snow’ monkeys were not so much keeping warm as coming to swim in the pool which was cooled through pumping in cold water. I really enjoyed the fact that they’re adept at swimming, and dive below the water. It’s a fascinating environment, would love to go back in winter.
