Diana Australis' photos with the keyword: orangutan

In the 80s and 90s I spent a lot of time in Aceh, Sumatra. There were no tourists. Wild orangutans lived in the nearby jungle. I would walk alone in the mornings seaching the forest canopy for orangutans waking up in their tree top nests. Usually I had no camera.One lucky morning, when I had a simple camera, a female came down close to me. I had bananas for my breakfast, and I put them down on the ground. Then I walked a little way off, and sat down to watch her. These are some of the photos I took. Scanned from old photos...
