The Parting Shot for June 29, 2012
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.
Photo I took of a walrus doing laps in his pool. Taken at the Indianapolis Zoo… on one of the hottest days in recorded history. It hit 105 degrees that day. Needless to say, I am glad to be back in the desert where it’s only 98 degrees… and 3% humidity.

That low humidity makes all the difference, doesn’t it?
Oh, you’re not kidding. I unpacked as soon as I got home, and the bra I wore to the zoo yesterday is STILL soaking wet from sweating. I was drenched. It was awful!
It’s a great photo but I dislike zoos…. 😦
I have mixed feelings about them.
I completely understand that… I’ve been.. I’ve done some photos.. you might have seen the fox one.. but I felt so uncomfortable when I was there..
It’s a beautiful shot Michelle. Especially when the image is viewed full size. I love the sharp contrast between the dark brown, long whiskered walrus, and the varying hues of vivid aquamarine color of the water, with bright shining highlights.
Yes, full size is when I really like it. LOL.. and that’s a third of full size. I reduce it down to 1920 width from an original 5184 width. Hmmm… I think I’ll leave one original size just for shits and giggles.
At that kind of high res, you could have it printed big enough to cover one full wall of your bedroom! 🙂
Great photo. Come on over a visit us in Alabama if you feel the need for some Summer 🙂
Thanks, but no. I lived in Bham for 2 years… I know how bloody hot and humid it is there. 🙂
