It’s already a few weeks on Saturdays that I’ve been following a photography course in Artis Amsterdam zoo. Last Saturday, it was the 3d out of 4 meetings, and our assignment of the day was to make a photo-story with a series of images. We had the first snow just a day before, so it was a special occasion to make photo’s on a snowy but sunny day in Artis. I had hoped that maybe I could go make some pics at the Arctic wolves’ enclosure that day, because I knew that a new group of wolves had arrived at the zoo some time last year, and some months a go, the news had been spread that three young wolves were born. So since I hadn’t been able to go see them yet, this assignment would make for a great opportunity to go see what was happening at the wolves’ .
I must say, I really was lucky with the photo-opportunities, and enjoyed my afternoon with the wolves, and those two boys, they did too 😉 …
“Two boys and the wolves…”
– Artis Amsterdam Zoo – a photo-story … :
-
-
Safely hidden behind a wooden wall and a fence grown with ivy, there’s the wolves’ enclosure.
-
-
Usually, it’s rather quiet there for the little group of arctic wolves, but today…
-
-
… something is happening near the fence
-
-
Two boys have started throwing snowballs …
-
-
and they seem to have attracted the wolves’ attention
-
-
… after all, this snow is new for these young wolves too! It’s giving them a snowy nose!
-
-
Then one of the boys discovers a crack in the wall, and straight away a stick goes in…
-
-
That too draws the curiosity of the wolves
-
-
Finally, it’s time for the boys to move on, and for the wolves to withdraw
-
-
… after all, this is *THEIR* territory
