Forewarned by our guide about the mischievous monkeys, we were advised to remove any earrings and eyeglasses. Despite Veronica needing her glasses to see, she wore them on the trail. While taking this shot, a daring monkey leaped from behind her, snatched her glasses, and demanded 'food' as ransom. Another cheeky monkey grabbed her hairpiece. After the unexpected encounters, I felt relieved to capture a stunning sunset. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
