Why the long face?

Why the long face?

On a drive out to Kananaskis lakes I came across a Moose family tucked away in a cutting at the edge of the forest, I stopped and walked back getting a good few shots before a car full of chinese tourists arrived making more noise than you could possibly imagine....the moose retreated to the forest before they managed one photo....

they looked at me, then at each other before getting back in their car and speeding off :roll:

Anyway, here are a few shots of that beautiful moose family before the chinese arrived.
