POSTCARDS

Grey langurs are highly adaptable and can be found living in deserts, rainforests, coniferous forests, mountains and cities

Thomas Kirsch, from Germany,

spent three weeks in Rajasthan

On the way back from our

visit to the old fort of Bundi

in Rajasthan, we came across

a group of monkeys sat on a

wall. The way they behaved

together reminded me of

humans. Some acted like a

close family, others like a

gang of friends, and this pair

you see in my photo were like

a couple of lovers from an

Almodóvar movie. In reality,

these grey langurs adapt well

to human settlements and are

found in villages and towns

across the area.

During our early autumn visit

to Glacier National Park, we

were blessed with gorgeous

weather – lovely blue sunny

skies and temperatures ideal

for trekking the fantastic trails

that the park has to offer. We

saw bears and moose, hiked

amid jaw-dropping scenery

and ate huckleberry ice

cream. On the last day of our

visit, we drove the fabulously

named Going-to-the-Sun

Road, and stopped to admire

the sparkling blue colours

and stunning view of Saint

Mary Lake.
