    I'm sure you have read Peter Hathaway Capstick's tale of his small war with baboons.What did you make of it?

    soul of the ape is the best book ever written about baboons. they happen to be my favourite. i can watch them for hours in the bush. great atmospheric pics. x j

    Janelle,

    Thank you kindly...are you talking about the unfinished book (1916) by Marais ?? I have not read it but it sounds interesting.

    James,

    Capstick and his war with the baboons....of Vlackfontein.??? Well, everbody has their take on Capstick..If I remember it right..it was.. Graphic..automatic gunfire... Slaughter...and could have been an unwritten chapter...I do also understand ones reaction under certain circumstances and situations can have us react or overreact ....Your thoughts ???

    These images are lovely--nostalgic looking somehow... Thanks, as always!
