Friday’s Weekly Travel Photo – Big Cats in Denmark

Copenhagen Zoo

Now, when you hear Denmark you probably don’t think “Lions”. I know for my part that I definitely didn’t. Which is why I was surprised during a visit to the Copenhagen Zoo to find a large, open enclosure full of a rather large extended family including a veritable army of small cubs. As the rainy day gave way to a beautiful fall day I snapped this photo of Dad and one of the moms relaxing in the sun together. I just love the colors in the photo, and that he appears to be sticking his tongue out at me.

I am a travel blogger and photographer. I also am involved in academic research into the study abroad and backpacker communities.

  1. What an incredibly majestic photo! What f-stop did you use? The textured concrete in the background provides an interesting rhythm to this photo. I think I’ll make it my screensaver for a while. I’ve tried capturing photos of lions on a few of my journeys but they always end up being a very blurry image of the lion’s backside.
