Sitting in the River – Katmai

Description

In the remote wilderness of Katmai National Park, amidst the lush greenery and the rhythmic dance of the river, a majestic grizzly bear takes a moment of respite. This stunning photograph captures the bear seated in the cold river during a steady rain, a testament to the enduring spirit of nature’s inhabitants. Having spent hours fishing during the peak of the salmon run, the bear’s gaze is distant and reflective, possibly contemplating its next meal or merely enjoying the simple serenity of its environment. The image, taken near Funnel Creek, showcases the powerful yet peaceful essence of this magnificent creature in its natural habitat.
