Yesterday I have been to a wildlife sanctuary in northern Germany called "Serengeti-Park Hodenhagen". You can drive by car (your own one!) through several areas full of animals from all over the world (e.g. bears, zebras, horses, lions and tigers) or you can go by bus. The animals decide whether to come close to your car or stay away. You are allowed to get off your car in some areas (ponies or goats live there), in other areas you are allowed to open your windows, in some you have to keep doors and windows closed.

So it happened that I drove slowly past some ponies when this nosy little guy came closer and closer. Then he decided to look into my car but was too small to do so properly. He just propped in his nose and tried to find out if there was something to eat. My dog on the backseat was taken aback... :-)

I just grabbed for my camera trying to capture this funny moment. Here it is!

PP for this snapshot: cropped away some parts of my car, adjusted contrasts and cloned out a blue spot on his nose, added frame, sharpened and resized.

I hope you like it. Thanks for having a look. Have a nice, sunny and funny Tuesday wherever you are. Kindest regards, Britta

Britta,

This is so funny! Makes me smile!!

Great moment, my complimets

Hallo Britta,
das lacht. Vor langer Zeit habe ich ein ähnliches Motiv mit einem Esel geschossen, der sich sehr für eine Tüte mit grünen und gelben Fruchtgummi interessierte und seine Nase in den Wagen steckte - und ebenfalls gelacht hat. Sah zumindest so aus. jedenalls sind solche Motive one of my favourites! Great crop and sharpness - unique POV. Kind of once in a livetime compo. Danke fürs teilen und schönen Abend aus dem immer noch triefenden Süden. Thomas
