Into Africa: Gorillas, Gorillas

Imagine there you are, with camera in hand focused on a mountain gorilla... and you need to put the camera down because you can't keep focused because the gorilla is walking right toward you. instructions are to maintain a seven meter distance, but the gorillas weren't told.

No cages, no bars between you... the animals could seriously injure or kill people. They never do. You are accepted, even welcomed into their homes. Truth is they are incredibly gentle.

Spiritual and life changing.... awe inspiring experience. There is more to come, including photos and stories, like how one young male gorilla was smitten by my wife Robin. I was jealous.
