Well I finally got around to looking at my photo's from my month long Taiwan trip. I actually was suppose to be there again right now. I had to cancel my trip the day of my flight and I guess I got pretty lucky as three of my co-workers ended up there in the middle of that typhoon that just went through there this last weekend.
Anyways here's a few from my trip.
Wild monkeys in the foothills. These guys were really cool. Down at the bottom they were pretty use to people kind of like some of the national parks in Colorado. As you got more off the beaten path they were really protective of there domain.

Thanks Brian, I've spent a lot of time there and have lots of friends there so it's good to see your images. Sad about the typhoon but they aren't uncommon, neither are earthquakes.

What a great series!
How can you go wrong photographing monkeys?
And the symmetry of the buildings you captured is terrific.

REALLY nice shots Brian.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Bill, I'm suppose to be spending a lot of time over there as I have a 8 month project going on over there right now. Problem is that is summer in Colorado. Best place to be in the world. Come Nov I'll probably cave in and head back over there.
The exposures are good for the monkeys, but the highlights are really distracting. The behaviours caught are excellent. I also like the lighting and color of the monument shots.
