Monkey George

I was on a photo walk in the Streets of Makoko, Lagos when I saw 2 chained monkeys playing on a fence. It was an interesting sight, so I went closer to take pictures. The monkeys were jumping up and down, so I took several pictures, but they were all blurry, as I was only using my phone to snap. While I was battling to take that one clear picture, someone handed one of the monkeys a bottle of Energy Drink. As if the monkeys didn't have enough energy!! The monkeys took a long gulp of the drink and burst into a wild frenzy. I was about giving up when I decided to take one last picture. To my surprise, that was it. I managed to capture this, Monkey George as his most peaceful.
