Tenderness
Species: Gorilla | Location: Bwindi , Uganda
This pic was taken in the Bwindi Forrest, Uganda, I was able to get incredibly close to this pair and I was deeply moved by the mom's tender caressing of her child - oblivious of anything else around her. The youngster was apparently mesmerized by my presence and continued to lock eyes with me. It was as if she saw deep into my soul with a compassion that was so intense that I found myself thinking she could see the loss I had experienced in my own life. It was an experience that I will never forget and was the highlight of that trip.
