A wild brown bear in eastern Finland, some years ago.

The picture was taken from a hide, just like all the other Finnish bear photographs. I’m not into commercial hides, but the August night that I spent in that tiny tent-like shack was a very special one. In the middle of the night, when it already was too dark for any bear photography, I could still hear footsteps of the bears on the pond shores.
