We were passing by this road which was on a higher ground than with where the giraffes were. It was against the rules of the park to open car windows but we tried to do otherwise though so we could have a clearer view of the giraffes.

Those lashes are making them look so beautiful.

I got a photo of him/her with his/her tongue out. :)

Look, a family eating together! :)

The younger ones.

This monkey climbed up to the front of the car and stayed there for a few minutes. I was so hyped up because the monkey was just like in front of me. :))

This looked so grumpy.

I find this youngster cute... just sitting there and looking at cars or probably having a day dream.

We saw these monkeys carrying their babies on their backs as a ranger signaled for their feeding time. Everything was just so cute.

This one is a Bongo. They are known for being nocturnal forest animals and also for being among the largest antelope species. They are legally classified as a "nearly threatened" specie.

I've read somewhere or probably heard it from Peter before, that female zebras have black stripes on white while male ones have white stripes on white. So can you tell if these are males or females? :)

Last Tuesday, my family and I went to Woburn Safari Park for my mom's 50th birthday celebration. It was a different experience for me since the whole set-up of the park was kinda opposite to that in the zoos. In Woburn, the spectators drive their cars around to safari where they would see all the animals out in to the grounds. Instead of putting the animals inside cages, they set them free into the fields and it is the humans who  are rather "caged" inside their cars. Great idea isn't it?

That's an Oryx in the picture above. They are antelopes known for their long, straight, almost-upright or swept-back horns. The ones above may be East African Oryx which were considered to be facing extinction.

An ostrich just near the gates of the park.

Tigers were placed in a different section of the safari. of course, they wouldn't place them with the deers.

It was raining when I took the photos of this bear thus the haziness of the picture.

On a much bigger section of the safari were these Lions/lioness . I was expecting for a more exciting meeting with them but all just stayed in groups and had nice naps on the grass. On this picture though, you can still see what appears to be a foot of a deer/goat that was being fed to them just a few minutes when we entered their section.

Behold, the real-life Mufasa.:))

Will post photos of the other animals in a different blog entry so as not to flood my home page :)

This is what they call "Punting".

This is the "Mathematical Bridge" of Queen's College.

Views of King's College from the park.

Me :) It rained a bit, by the way.

I'm not sure if that building at the back is still a part of King's.

A preview of St. John's College from the park at the back of Trinity College. There was a small bridge going to the College, but it was closed that time.

Inside the King's College Chapel, you could really see how intricate the interior design was from the wall and pillar carvings, the stained glasses, up to the marvelous ceiling.

The church was divided into two by this huge Church Organ that is played by the pianist on top of the wall divider.

The chapel doesn't have any altar unlike any other churches in the Philippines. Instead, it has this painting popularly known as the "The Adoration of the Magi" by Rubens grace the inner part of the chapel.

At the sides of the chapel are a series of rooms working ala museums where bits of the Church's history are being featured and a few mini-chapels for private/public prayer sessions.

An example of the later is shown in these photo:

This is a small presentation of how they made the stained glasses of the chapel, which by the way, is the largest in number among all the other chapels/churches.

This is the stand where the Priest/Pastor would put his Bible and lecture.

A memorial tomb to one of the past student of the College.

The carvings on the walls of the chapel that you may think as ornaments are actually symbols of the different kings/dynasties/eras in England.

The Fleur de lis and the Tudor Rose (combination of the Red Rose of the Lancaster and of the White Rose of York)

A view of the college's courtyard and buildings outside the chapel.

This one was badly framed. :(
