Hi folks sorry for another bear image ...did not see Alex posting one , too .
But this was taken on the other end of the world .... depending on where you look from ...LOL .
Image taken at Kuril Lake at one river mouth .... conditions were not good , for bears and photographers . Lots of water , rain so visibility was low . The bears were trying hard to chase the salmons around , in hope they become visible . Some of the bears seemed to run around without any plan .... just running and jumping from time to time . Others had a more sophisticated technique , they waited that one bear caught one and just stole it .... LOL !!!!
I know the second bear is not ideal .... but no way to avoid him

Processed with DPP and PSCC 2019 ; slight crop for levelling .... edits made to achieve a reflective look & feel of the scene. In fact in real life it was way more flat ....
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting .
