The Edge of the Earth

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 2:52 PM
People once beleieved that you could indeed fall off the edge of the earth. Since then science has proven them wrong. Science has forgoten about Antarctica, a place where one nearly could fall off the edge. where life hangs in such a delacte balance fighting against the harshest climate on the planet. Where people can still walk over the horizon into new uncharted terratories, where people can simply dissapear, never to be seen again. A place so harsh and pure and simple that it strains the heart to take it all in at once. I have been shooting up a storm since I have gotten down here, and while I beleive that many of the shots I have taken are beautiful, I still struggle capture pure epicness of it all. I was hoping to have posted some shots by now, but the satalite internet we get down here is doggedly slow and I have been unable to upload a single image. I will continue to try, but I may not be able to post again untill I get back stateside at the beginning of the new year.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me identify the species of a bear I saw in Yellowstone this week. [link]

It looks like a black to me, but a ranger there said it was a young grizzly. Thanks

Hey Trent! I just looked at Best Friends magazine this month and there is an article on dogs in Canmore trained to work with griz. On pg 55 there was a picture of you! You probably already know but I thought was really cool. Cheers
:icont-poo:
Thats really cool. I drove around with that photographer for a day, and he really wanted to get some shots of us working bears but that was the one day I all summer long I didnt see one. I havent seen the picture or article, how did you find it?

What?! The ONE day you didn't see a bear? I severely underestimated that. Anyways, I just happened to see the Feb/March issue of Best Friends magazine and saw the headline of bear dogs in Canada and flipped to the article and there is your mug! You should track down the issue.
:icont-poo:
No seriously that was the only work day all summer I didnt see a bear. My boss actually sent the photographer up to spend the day with me because it was pretty much a garuntee to see bears on my shifts. I have to find an article
