Such huge, beautiful but sad eyes, and such a thin little body! Incredible capture, JM. A great reminder that while we frequently complain about our world, we have no idea what others suffer.

Oh Jose! He's not a fossil... yet! :-D But still a striking image.

[I agree with you entirely about the lights in the cave. Made an interesting set of photo, but to be there was surreal... the lights were tacky. Chinese have an ambivalent relationship with nature at best. So it's best to get to it before they do... :-)]
