On the 5th day of our trip to Chicago, Darren took us to Lincoln Park Zoo. I had been there already back in 2003 but this time it was a lot more interesting!
I got some wonderful shots of the animals and birds there, including the human variety who were protesting outside.
Here are two shots of a lion at the zoo. I could describe him as majestic and commanding of presence, but when you see the tiny enclosure they have to live in, it's hard not to feel pity for them.
There's another shot of him here!

Thanks guys, this is one of those rare times I posted a picture and received comments before I added it to Flickr groups!
He looks like he is very interestedin something in the distance. And he looks so gentle.
