Peoria Zoo

This is the zoo I went to when I was little. It's changed a lot in 30 years, but it does well for a smaller city zoo. When I went there all the time, they had puffins. They don't have puffins anymore, but they also don't keep the lions and tigers in tiny little pacing cages. This is also the zoo I think of when I think of big snakes. You know that scene in Harry Potter when the snake gets out of the cage at the zoo? This is the zoo I envision.

The set is here, and the photos were taken in 2010. It was not a dedicated phototrip, as I was there with my parents, but I think the photos turned out decent anyway.

Here is my favorite:
California Sea Lion_4

I like this because it is an example of how photos can be rescued. The lighting was horrible, and the sea lion was far too dark in some areas and overexposed in others. I couldn't save the colour, but I think that it works well as a high contrast black and white.
