This print captures the heartwarming bond between a Rhesus Macaque monkey mother and her baby as they perch on an ancient shrine at the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, in Kathmandu, Nepal. The temple's rich heritage and historical significance provide a stunning backdrop for this colorful scene. The ornate details of the ancient shrine add to its antiquity, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of Buddhism that permeate Nepalese culture. As the mother holds onto her young one with tenderness and care, their presence symbolizes not only the beauty of nature but also spirituality and devotion. Kathmandu itself serves as a vibrant capital city where history comes alive through its old buildings and cultural landmarks like this sacred temple. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the past and present, inviting viewers to appreciate Nepal's rich history while immersing themselves in its natural wonders. With no human presence in sight, these alert macaques confidently face towards the camera, showcasing their innate curiosity. Their expressive faces tell stories untold; their gaze invites us into their world within this enchanting travel destination. Peter Barritt/Robert Harding skillfully captures this moment in time with his color image photography. Through his lens, we are transported to a place where wildlife harmoniously coexists with centuries-old traditions—a testament to Nepal's unique blend of nature and religion that continues to captivate travelers from around the globe.
