migmitOn Wednesday I only had a plan for the evening, so, I wanted to walk around some more. Looks like pigeons are doing pretty good.
Soldiers, walking around the king's castle.
Followed by some more realistically-looking soldiers... except what's with their boots?
Walking around, I found myself at the zoo entrance. I did not expect that.
Holy family.
Somebody making a splash.
Oh, it's those guys.
Probably the nicest statue of a bear I've seen.
Live bears weren't so easy to photograph. Their place is gigantic.
Piglet and his family.
The wolf didn't mind being photographed.
Some wild goats, I guess.
I'm pretty sure that's a sloth, but I've never saw his face.
I've also bought a ticket to aquarium, and was again right to do so: apparently, they also keep monkeys there.
Sleeping lemurs.
Same lemurs, from above.
Meerkat, standing guard. Or rather sitting.
There are some more traditional animals in the aquarium too.
They don't move too much.
This guy seems mildly annoyed by all the attention.
I don't remember who those are.
A house rat has a miniature house build for her.
Looks like real love.
A tiny frog.
Some of the inhabitants love being photographed.
That meerkat guard was not alone. He was keeping others safe.
I went back to the lemurs, even though though there were some "STOP" signs on the way.
And noticed a lemur mom with a kid.
That's my best picture of the Colobus. I have no idea who those people were and how they've got inside.
That was pretty much it. The zoo is not big, and most of its territory is taken by some old Swedish houses, not animals. Naturally, I went back to bears.
That was taken from the distance, so, the quality is not great; but the bear balancing on the side of the hammock had to be photographed.
On my way back I spotted this guy.
And this one just ran past me, so, I couldn't make a decent photo. There was no barrier between us whatsoever.
I walked in the city a little more, and noticed that signs at the crossing are sometimes different: one is of a man, another of a woman.
Maybe I've spent too much time watching lemurs, but this looks to me like a winged monkey, not an eagle it's supposed to be.
Another street sign — apparently, for a horse.
It's a nice place.
So, my plan for the evening was to visit the science museum. Apparently, there is a police museum nearby.
But the science museum was kinda disappointing. The best part was the hands-on experience, where visitors can see the applications of various scientific principles. We have something like this here, and our version is better.
The other part just displays various inventions.
On my way back I walked through the area with lots of embassies of various countries. This, of course, is the nicest:
I'm not sure if it's a gargoyle or a bulldog, but it looks very serious.
And then I found what is, apparently, a pedestrian tunnel.
It's fairly long, and some parts of it look a bit strange.
To be continued...
