Monkeying Around At The Real Top Of The Rock

The Spanish city of Algeciras and the

port of Gibraltar from our hotel room. 

Wind power on a distant hill.

When Apple got us lost, at least

it took us through a gate from 1790.

And past a beloved British

telephone booth.

He was here to greet us when we

got off the cable car.

Sun dappled Med.

The monkey eclipse.

Contemplative monkey.

Gibraltar is actually three rock thrusts.

This monkey (a macaque) jumped on this

tourist in an effort to get into her backpack.

She was flustered, but handled it better

than I would have.

At this point, another monkey decides it is time

 to help out, and then pushed the other monkey

off. There was a lot of nervous laughter from

 the watching tourists.

A little friendly grooming.

Pretty cool shot.

I liked the look of floating

so much I had to do it too.

Hence the expressing, "monkeying around."

A cable car.  They are not as easy

to find as one might assume.

end of Gibraltar.
