Photo of the Day: December 16, 2008

At first glance this is quite the adorable scene: kiddies, pandas, winter celebrations. Except...what is going on here? Is that panda trapped inside that snow globe, with the dirty gym towel instead of snow, begging those kids to let him out? Couldn't they just let him prance around with some fake antlers so he could actually take photos with the kidlets instead of locking him away behind plastic where he can only longingly touch paws, like a monthly jailhouse visit? So many questions. Brian Knight Photography found this sweet, strange little scene at Zoo Lights, which starts again on Thursday and runs through December 30, except Christmas.
