In this print captured by Damir Sagolj, long-tailed macaques find solace and rest after indulging in a sumptuous feast at the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple during the annual Monkey Buffet Festival in Lopburi, Thailand. The festival serves as a heartfelt gesture of gratitude towards these mischievous creatures who have played an integral role in attracting tourists to this quaint town located 150km north of Bangkok. The image showcases unity and closeness among the monkeys as they peacefully slumber, their bellies full from the generous offerings provided by locals. Against the backdrop of the ancient temple's exterior, these wild animals find protection and comfort within their natural habitat. The composition highlights both adult macaques and adorable baby animals nestled together, emphasizing their strong bond and familial ties. With no humans present in the frame, it allows us to appreciate nature's beauty undisturbed. Damir Sagolj's creative use of close-up photography captures every intricate detail - from each monkey's fur to their serene expressions while they sleep soundly. The picture evokes a sense of tranquility amidst bustling festivities. This remarkable photograph not only encapsulates the essence of Thai traditions but also celebrates wildlife conservation efforts that promote harmony between humans and animals. It is a testament to how even small gestures can foster coexistence with our fellow inhabitants on this planet.
