The Story Behind This Shot
A double exposure of a bear at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, its back built from Longs Peak, photographed across the plains the same December afternoon. The sanctuary covers about 1,450 acres of prairie, and visitors watch rescued bears, wolves and big cats from elevated walkways. Longs Peak is about 60 miles west of those walkways, which is as close as this bear will get to it.
A soft, quiet wildlife print with a fourteener where the hump should be.
