This is true in financial trading, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003esports scores and facets of everyday life. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaleb argued that the truth was different \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand the random walk of luck spreads \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eitself evenly throughout life and some \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eachievements are, in fact, totally a result \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eof good fortune: we just find it affirming \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eto think otherwise.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI took this picture in Kalimantan, Borneo \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eone afternoon in late April 2024 and it \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ecertainly outscores any previous pictures \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eI have taken of orangutans. I saw the \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003epossibility slowly unfolding in front of \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eme, but whether there would be that one \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003emoment in time, when everything was \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003esymmetrically aligned, was really just \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003edown to good fortune. I had that one \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eglimpse and took it. It’s luck, but having \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003esaid that, I won’t take it back.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI want to thank the senior park rangers \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ein Kalimantan who granted me permits \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eand guided me up river to a particular \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ebend where they knew there tended to be \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eseveral orangutans. We were a long way \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003efrom anywhere that I had heard of that \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003enight and I could only have done this with \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ethe help of the wonderful team of locals in \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eBorneo. It’s a team sport and what a team \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ewe had that afternoon. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eI think orangutans are the smartest \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eanimals I have ever filmed and their \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003egestures, postures and general behaviour \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eare very close to home. - David Yarrow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow Wild Life","offers":[{"title":"132cm x 205cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101547921665,"sku":null,"price":878000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180cm x 292cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101547954433,"sku":null,"price":1040000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/1676\/5953\/files\/DY-62.jpg?v=1794182201","url":"https:\/\/shopmavero.shop\/products\/welcome-to-the-jungle","provider":"Fairmont Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
