Snow monkeys

IThe mountainous ski area of Nagano is famous for its macaques which like to use the hot thermal waters to keep warm in winter, and there are lots of famous photos of monkeys doing just that.
right now there is no snow and it's not particularly cold so the monkeys are not in the water.
There are plenty of them and they studiously ignore you no matter how close you get.
​it was an interesting area, high mountains, very low cloud and steam from the thermal waters - very atmospheric.
