Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

It looks like these guys are a little out of their element! Love the shadows and overall composition!

20 Feb 2008 12:32pm

@Craiger: They are free to stay inside or go outside, but on sunny winter days they prefer to be outdoors. Thanks for the comment,

ManuelaR from Hainburg, Germany

Seems so surreal to see them with snow... great perspective!

20 Feb 2008 12:52pm

@ManuelaR: You are right, it's not something we think of as natural, but they don't seem to mind. Thanks for your appreciation,

They look great against the white snow!!! The photographer found the right angle and the most photogenic group! I love their pyjamas!!!
By the way, Wolfgang, the pink plum blossoms agaisnt blue sky is today's posting on my blog...just as you suggested!
Regards,
Gabriela

20 Feb 2008 1:06pm

@Japanalia: Yes, Gérard-Pierre had a nice find, thank you. He was inspired by this common vision....
P.S.: Thanks for the plum blossoms, I saw them first thing in the morning.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

Des zèbres dans la neige, ça c'est original... de même que l'angle de prise de vue pour une photo animalière. Et comme la lumière est superbe et met bien en valeur les contrastes de leur superbe robe, je dis bravo !!

20 Feb 2008 1:16pm

@Evelyne Dubos: Au nom de Gérard-Pierre merci pour le compliment!

Elle from Sydney, Australia

Cuties! :) You know how in fairy tales the characters come in 3s most of the time? Goldilocks and the three bears and I can't remember now but yes. Love how you got the 2 zebras looking at the same direction and the third at another direction. And they go well with snow. Great shot!

20 Feb 2008 1:22pm

@Elle: You are right! Thanks for your comment,

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

If I were a zebra, what would I think of snow? Great photo of contrasts.

20 Feb 2008 2:19pm

@Viewfinder: They do seem strange in the snow, but they don't seem to mind! Thank you for the compliment,

Aww, 3 friends on the snow.

20 Feb 2008 2:28pm

@Levine: They do seem to be friends! :-) Thank you,

Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa

Bit unusual for me since I am use to them in the wild here in Africa - nevertheless, they form a great contrast against the snow and it is an excellent shot!

20 Feb 2008 2:36pm

@Ina: I won't even try to tell you they are special zebras indigenous to our area, they are not! But they seem to get adjusted quite well!
vu@granby - Wolfgang

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

As Ina says above, they provide a great contrast to the background snow. It brings to mind not too long ago seeing a public television documentary on a mutation where the stripes are white. There's also some character in the two zebras who happen to be looking in the same direction on the left. Beautiful markings!

20 Feb 2008 3:48pm

@Steven: Thanks for the interesting informationand for your comment,

I'm back from my travels, great shot with the matching strong black and white colours.

20 Feb 2008 5:01pm

@Scarabaeus: Thanks, glad you like Gérard-Pierre's photo, and hope you brought back some great shots from your trip.

Harald from Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Ein toller Kontrast. Zebras auf Schnee sieht man auch nicht alle Tage.

20 Feb 2008 6:36pm

@Harald: Ja, was es in Granby so alles gibt! :-) Vielen Dank,

standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France

C'est si étonnant de voir des zèbres dans la neige! Belle prise de vue

@standley: Oui, c'est étonnant! Merci pour le compliment,

Michael from Wuppertal, Germany

Like this shot! It looks very impressive with the snow in the background. Don´t they have jumpers for the cold nights? ;-)

Superbe Gérard-Pierre!

Now this is a sight you don't see every day! A brilliant image.

@MaryB: Ah, Granby is more exotic than it appears at first sight! Thanks for your comment,

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan

Great job. I can imagine them discussing... "Where are we going to hide now?"

20 Feb 2008 11:41pm

@Daroru: It's not easy to hide in a field of snow when you are a zebra! :-) Thanks for the comment,

Tracey from White Hall, United States

Fantastic! I know this is stupid, but I never knew zebras could live where it snowed!! LOVE IT!

21 Feb 2008 1:20am

@Tracey: They live in our zoo and have a large area where they can go as they please, but of course at night they prefer lo be inside. Thanks for your first comment on our blog,

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

They look great against the snow but they are probably wondering how to get back to Africa.

21 Feb 2008 1:58am

@Michael Rawluk: I think these guys have never seen Africa, they were born and raised in North America. Thanks for your comment,

Ras from Plano, United States

I didn't know that it snowed in Africa. Good shot though.

21 Feb 2008 3:12am

@Ras: It actually snows in some spots of Africa, and not only on old man Kilimanjaro, for example in the Draakensberg in South Africa and the Atlas in North Africa. This photo is of course from the zoo in Granby, as our blog shows only photos of our hometown. Thanks for your comment.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

On a l'habitude de voir des photos de zebre dans la savane mais c'est la premiere que je vois dans la neige... Ce fond clair permet de mettre en avant leur magnifique pelage.

21 Feb 2008 4:05am

@akarui: L'avantage d'avoir un jardin zoologique à Granby
et qu'il soit ouvert l'hiver en plus.
Merci !
