| Sunrise at the Russian Border, Finland |
A dark chocolate-coloured bear emerged from the forest and
plodded into the clearing in front of us.
He lingered briefly by a dead tree, the bark of which had been stripped
leaving it scarred with open wounds. The bear sniffed the air with his mouth
slightly open, his strong white teeth clearly visible as he ambled around the
long coarse grass until he picked up a scent. Facing us, he pushed his muzzle
into the ground and clawed at the land with a large powerful paw. Bones cracked loudly as he masticated his
find, crushing it with his puissant jaw.
