p.1 #1 · Katmai Brown Bears and Northern Lights

Some images from a September trip to Katmai and Fairbanks. Working from the elevated platforms at Katmai doesn�t always provide the composition one hopes for, but experiencing the bears safely and in such a way that doesn�t impede their natural activities seems a worthwhile tradeoff. My first experience with northern lights had me planning a return almost immediately.

Thanks for looking

Superb set Ed. Each special in it's own way. The northern lights are amazing, if you get lucky you will see them in multiple colors
