[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On my visit to the city of Jilin, I was taken to the top of a hill. All the way up I saw warnings about monkeys, well pictures of monkeys. (I couldn't read the signs)

After trying several times to find out if somebody had brought the monkeys from the south and put them on this hill or if they were naturally there I could not find out from my friends. I thought I would find it online, but it is all in Chinese. Fortunately these thieving and biting monkeys were caged for the safety of the visitors. I have heard horror stories from other parts of china involving monkeys.

HI Matthew,

nice but far too contrastless.

Good story, but the picture could have been a bit more sharp. It lacks contrast, focus and sharpness. But an interesting story. And yes, they can bite pretty deep...

Have a good weekend! Dennis
