Bear at midnight (Ursus arctos)

This photo I took at 11.48 pm. This bear was walking at the swamp, in which were these white hays, Eriophorum vaginatum (I don`t know english name).

Terrific image, Ari. Great feel of Finnish summer night. The light shapes his back beautifully. And you got the head in light giving the appropriate personal feel to the Bear. Brilliant! :clap:

:clap: :clap: :clap: You're the Man,Ari. A fantastic setting and you couldn't get a more atmospheric shot even if you tried all night long! A delight to look at. Walked straight into my favourites. Superb work. Thanks. :t:

The plant is called Hare's-tail Cotton-grass in English.

The photograph is beautiful, full of mystery and magic - thank you! :clap:
