Photo by @jasperdoest while #onassignment in #Japan for @natgeoexpeditions // Togura93, one of the elder females within the famous Japanese snow monkey group of the Jigokudani-valley.

Togura93 was born in 1993 and is the sister of this troop's alpha monkey. I have known her for 11 years now. "Unbelievable how time flies. We both got older, but you aged quickly since the last time I saw you. You looked weak today, but beautiful as always. And when you looked up, gazing at the sky, you seemed to know the end is near. Perhaps this is the last time our paths crossed. Who knows. We’re not in control of that. Accepting is one of the challenges of life. You seem to know how to do that…I’m still learning. Nevertheless I hope to see you again. If not, thank you for allowing me to be part of your story.” Follow me @jasperdoest for more images of my recent winter adventures in Japan.
