finally i'm coming to an end with my july vacation pictures. on these last days we visited another zoo, and a monastery, but otherwise i have left the camera untouched, to soak in the feeling of being by the sea. ending vacations like this: sitting at the beach, enjoying the beauty of water, clouds and the soft roaring of the sea - this is it. this is where my heart is buried.
there wasn't a lot to look at here, except of a little shop/house, the monastery buildings and a little park.
and this cat!
flamingo stone sculptures.
dream car.
monastery doors.
it was a small monastery, but old in age.
beautiful old tree.
duck house. we were invited to feed them :3
this zoo was very small, but it had a certain charm. i loved entering the nandu / llama compound or the goat petting zoo. i'm always a bit sad though... seeing wild animals caged in too small areas. it's good that zoos exist - for the learning experience - but it's also a curse, especially for the animals involved.
i think it's a canary bird.
oh, i love you little yellow-headed cockatiel.
this goat baby was so cute with it's rosy nose. and it had very soft fur. still a newbie to this world!
goats hanging around.
a coati sleeping in a tree. love the sea gull in the background.
harbor seals playing around in the water.
they have such beautiful faces.
relaxing red-necked wallaby.
pretty emu.
the lions were chilling out as well.
peeking through the grass.
such a sad face.
camel! in a pretty surrounding.
a mara! strange creatures, a mixture between rabbit and deer? they are relatives of guinea pigs, though. guinea pigs with very long feet, actually.
they even had babies!
smiling llama! i sat very closely to them. my respect was very huge, you know, spitting and stuff. but they behaved very well.
ah, big lumps of adorableness.
white-headed lemur baby! strangely enough it wasn't white headed. so it must be a different lemur species.
the eyes of a japanese macaque.
i think it's some kind of iguana.
some last impressions.
rainy sea day.
prawns of stone.
baby dino sipping alcohol. i found this toy on the street.
the last day was biding us good-bye with sun and clear water. it was hard to leave this place.
foot- and shoeprints.
one last time of wading around in the cool water.
i miss the sea. words cannot describe what i feel thinking about it. it's just endless and pure adoration and there's some kind of peacefulness creeping into my heart. my otherwise fickle and scatterbrained heart.
