Before the reggae festival (read below!), we went to the Beijing Zoo. The Pandas, of course, take a central role in the zoo, and have the nicest habitats – although I thought they could have been a bit more “natural”. The young pandas enjoyed them, though. Most of the big cats, on the other hand, only got small, stinky cages. It was rather sad to watch them lie there. The elephants got just a dirt patch with some mud. That’s it. I don’t remember the other zoos I’ve been to all that well, but I think I was less bothered by them.

By the way, I finally confirmed my suspicions that I was messing up the colors of my photos when exporting them from RAW into JPEGs. I’ve been exporting them into AdobeRGB rather than sRGB. If you thought some colors on some of the older photos looked kind of washed out…you were right. I reexported and reuploaded a couple photos that I thought were most affected by it.
