Merry Christmas to all! This scene with a red panda framed by the pines has a really wintry and Christmas colour scheme to it, doesn't it?

On a side note, i'm really irked by how San Diego Zoo keeps most of its animals in cages. Although i opened my aperture all the way here (f/2.8), you can still see the cage grids very clearly. On the other hand, the Zoo also did not dim the lights on the "human side" of glass enclosures, resulting in distracting reflections. i believe that being able to see the humans distracts the animals, too. In this aspect the Singapore Zoo has really done a better job.
