The Honolulu Zoo


Nestled in the shadow of Diamond Head and bordering Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu, the Honolulu Zoo is a place to visit for what most people will never do in their lifetime; a photo safari around the world.

Though I don't believe in the captivity of what should be wild, a zoo may be the only chance for some species to exist. This gives us a chance to photograph exotic birds, elephants, apes and many other animals on this great planet of ours.

Having visited the Philadelphia Zoo and the Norfolk Zoo in years past the Honolulu Zoo was my stop this past Sunday. Small in comparison to Phillie's, none the less it provided abundant photo ops.




Here are a few shots from that day.
