Monkey Business

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
We visited a small hill named Lamb's Rock near Coonoor that affords a beautiful panoramic view of the valley. These monkeys were busy filching food from tourists. They seemed to be conversing on some simian affair when I took this photograph.
Cropped and resized. Contrast pushed up a bit.
