Default Stay away from the fence and you'll be free to soar

I walked by these at the zoo and wondered how they got that way....how they managed to get tangled in such peculiar ways........the goal is to catch the wind and soar.

Lovely images. And I agree, how bizarre the way in which they ended up trapped.

Are you sure that it wasn't the ape in the cage that did it - yes leaves can work their way into weird and wonderful places - well spotted. Cheers, Bernz

Funny, Patrick! Even thought they're dead, it looks like they're holding on for dear life...with their hands wrapped around the fence!

I like the last one. Very nice effect...like it's floating!

Thanks for sharing!

Maybe the leaf is trying to show the animals how to escape. Great shots, the second one is my fave.

Very nice! I like the color of the fence in contrast to the leaves. But the last shot makes the series for me.
