A cold zebra

We went to the zoo today with a class-full of schoolkids - due to a quadruple birthday celebration.

Surprisingly many animals were out - despite the fact that most of them stem from very much warmer climates and this was a Danish winters day. Blue skies, sun - all that was fine. But the temperature probably did not crawl above the freezing point.

And a zebra on snow is just not what you usually see. Nevertheless, here is one :)



Kids and adults alike had a great day - and we've got the rosycheeks to prove it!

I just love that photograph. I could go on at length about the stripes on the zebra and the shadows on the snow and thematic unity, but I haven't had any coffee yet, so I am not as coherent and clever as I would like to be, and will spare us both ; )

Coffee - like in black coffee with some white milk for a nice and complete graphical sense of fitting it all together? ;)

Thanks - I'd like to claim that I spent ages composing it, but in reality I tried to keep an eye on 6 kids (and one Mrs) while pointing the camera in the general direction of the zebra and pushing some button at the top...

What a fabulous photo! - What Ag said about the composition (or what she would say if she'd had coffee!) - It made me gasp though! :-)
