Highlights of the visit that day were 1) the mama lion going nuts because she wanted to get back in where I imagine her cubs were. Pacing around and roaring and jumping up on the steel door to look through the window to them. Over and over again. It drew quite a crowd. After the incident in San Francisco, I admit I got a bit of an adrenaline rush watching her all agitated. 2) Watching a male orangutan hump a female in a semi missionary position, stop, bend down to sniff her crotch, and then continue. He was sort of standing up, but squatting with his pelvis only a couple inches off the floor while she was leaning back against the wall, looking all bored. Come to think of it, he looked bored too. And then 3) watching another orangutan chew up a bunch of food for a while, spit it out onto the floor, and then start chewing it again. It repeated this 2-3 times before we left.

Good times.

Is that what was going on? When I was there, all of the lions and the tiger were extremely agitated. The lionesses were pacing by the door, and the tiger and the male lion were at the top of their habitat, looking over the wall into the lionesses' section. The tiger was roaring, almost constantly.

Usually, all they do is sleep.

Today I was looking through some of my shots from my Istanbul trip and I found one I had overlooked and thought I would post the before and after here. It was a neat Catholic church, the St. Antoine Cathedral. It's just off of the main thoroughfare near Taksim square, İstiklâl Caddesi.

Anyway, when I looked at the slightly crooked RAW file I saw some potential so I played with it in Adobe Lightroom and then took it into another plugin called Topaz Clarity.

So far I like it but may tweak it a bit more. We were in Istanbul just after the New Year and they still had the Christmas decorations up.
