Emma Parker, A moments pause amongst the tourists (ANIMALS 2024)

A Japanese macaque, affectionately known as the Snow Monkey, takes a pause amongst the crowds that flood the park each day. I took this photo backed against the dark cliff and waited for the light to hit in the right spot as the monkey rested on a fence.
