Early morning |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bears immerge out of the mist |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warming up in the first sunlight of the day |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or take a little rest |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still no salmon around |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More and more bears immerge as the salmon arrives |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even the young ones are present |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The feast can begin, food is swimming around |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the youngsters can't wait |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But danger is around other bears are hunting to |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running for the salmon |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And somtimes a little battle starts |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But there is place and food for everyone |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brrr... cold and wet, and still no salmon |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here we go again |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everyone hunts and hunts |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The volcanos are never far away |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And running is a pleasure |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But not a pleasure for everyone.... |
top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And even when the sun is very low the hunt continues.... |
