What a great shot and courage on the part of the photographer. If I had been there I might have been running away rather than capturing this great image. #973545

Actually the photo was taken in British Columbia Canada near Vancouver. I was just ending a trip to Alaska and stopped over in Vancouver for a couple nights. I had seen only one bear in Alaska on a two week trip there. But was lucky to find two out having a good time at the top of Grouse Mountain British Columbia. #6276818
