”Oh no, not again!” by Marsel van Oosten
apanese macaques (macaca fuscata), also known as snow monkeys, like to bathe in the warm water of the natural hot springs. With outside temperatures below freezing and a constant water temperature of 42C, who can blame them? These photogenic animals have become used to humans wanting to photograph them, so they are not shy and stay very relaxed in human presence. This little one however seemed to think ‘Oh no, not again!’ when one of the participants on our Japan workshop tried to take a photograph.
