I decided against creating a new gallery for my Bronx Zoo photos.
I couldn’t decide if this image should go in my young people or cell phones gallery.
I chose this gallery because it goes along with the theme of distraction.
It made me sad to see the darling face of this little one trying to get his dad’s attention.
My photo of the gorilla from yesterday also made me sad.
The reason I converted it with the AI program was to give it some life.
The dirty glass and the gorilla’s expression were enough to get anyone down.
While I am not a fan of zoos I do think they serve a purpose.
The area surrounding the Bronx Zoo is not exactly well to do.
Having it there in the middle of NYC gives children from all incomes a chance to see and learn about animals.
There were many teenagers working there and I would imagine some of them will go on to have careers in animal science or conservation and the thought of that makes me smile.
