Bear in forest

In the summer of 2016, I traveled to Finland to achieve a dream of mine: seeing and photographing the incredible brown bears that stalk through the ancient Taiga forests. They move silently, foraging for fruits and berries amongst the marshes. One bear, in particular, stood out.

Many people associate Finland with cold weather, everlasting darkness, and sprawling dark forests. However, this country in Northern Europe is not only about that and one photographer is here to show you that these stereotypes are actually wrong! Ossi Saarinen is a 23-year-old Finnish wildlife photographer who believes that Finland is much more than extreme cold and darkness. He proves that by showing the enchanting and magical side of his motherland through his nature photography.

Because of the funny position of the bear, it reminds me of Winnie the Pooh ;-). Please view LARGE!

Enjoying the View and Peace!

Why do we say a gaggle of geese, a flock of sheep, a pride of lions or a swarm of bees? Well it harks back to medieval times when sportsmen grouped together collectives of beasties to refer to them…
