Sometimes, you find unusual travel photo opportunities at the most unexpected times. For example, this African mask I came across on a family visit to the Lowry Park Zoo.
It was one of several on display. Not authentic, it was definitely one developed for decorative commercial use. However, it still made a statement and added a tribal atmosphere to that area of the safari animal exhibit.
Tall, and posted on a large pole, it added a museum-like quality to an otherwise casual outdoor display. It reminded me that travel photography doesn’t always have to take place in foreign lands. Particularly when scenes like this are within driving distance of your very own home.
