There is nothing quite like seeing a grizzly in the wild. This shot was taken last autumn while the bear was searching below the tide line for food. The salmon runs last year were critically low all along the BC coastline with this specific run coming though Knight Inlet down 80-90%. This results in the bears being tragically thin before hibernation and having to range further afield for food. At this time of year the bellies of these coastal bears are normally hanging almost to the ground. This bear was munching barnacles off the rocks in an effort to get some sustenance. Knight Inlet, British Columbia, Canada. The bear is a North American Brown Bear or Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis).
The contrast between winter and summer at places like Maligne Canyon in the Rockies is nothing short of phenomenal. Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking” Friedrich Nietzsche. We have spent a fair bit of time wandering among glaciers looking for thoughts. The shot taken on the Iceline trail in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. A spectacular trail if you ever get the chance to do it.
