Gentle giraffes

.
Fresh photos from the Jerusalem zoo!
Even the shadows of the giraffes stretch toward one another.

In the same expansive enclosure below us were zebras, two white rhinos, and ostriches.


A minute later the position turned into this.
But that's as far as it went.

    (I turned off the word verification. I had turned it on previously because I was having a lot of trouble with spam comments and couldn't keep up. Hopefully it will be better now.)

  13. The Creator has an odd sense of humor, which is shown rather graphically in the giraffe. Of course, the giraffes in your photo have a sense of humor too. Just look at the shadows they have left lying all over the ground!
