Summary

[edit]
Description

The last time I visited the zoo was a year ago and before that, it was a few years prior.

On both occasions, the snow leopard was asleep on some rocks at the back of the enclosure. Today when I returned, I assumed he would still be there sleeping as usual, but instead he was in a different spot and awake. No idea what he's staring at.

It can be a challenge taking pictures at the zoo for a number of reasons; sunny or cloudy day, through a glass or a chain fence, animals keep on moving etc.

The picture is slightly grainy due to the bumped up ISO but I sharpened it a bit as the picture was taken on a sunny morning under shade. It was also taken through a chain fence which you cannot see at all. When the subject is far away from the fence and you zoom in on the subject, the foreground fence will disappear.
