Baboons

A rather "normal" traffic sign on the Cape Peninsula.
I took the picture after an early morning walk with Lupa in Tokai, a wealthy Southern Suburb of Cape Town alongside Orpen Road, close to the Steenberg Golf Estate. Do not think this is something like the open plains of the wilderness where wild animals live. It is a very affluent area full of palatial houses of wild Capetonians, golf estates, shopping centres and parking lots with very expensive cars.
For the baboons, life is becoming less and less easy as humans are encroaching more and more on their habitat. I read in a local paper that there are plans to "protect" the palatial villas against the baboons by means of a multi-million Rand fence, separating animals and "civilisation".
On the Groot Constantia wine estate I have met Baboons several times. From a distance of about 5 m I could see how they were eating the grains of the wheat, planted on an area where old vines had been oprooted. Neither Lupa nor me felt that the baboons were dangerous.
I rather found it a privilege that I was able to meet and observe wild animals.
I loved it.
