Seal River is on the western side of Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada. It is the place for polar bears in the summertime, and about a zillion beluga whales. Seal River Lodge takes only about a dozen people in a family environment. The hospitality and friendliess are memorable, the food is astonishing, and the experience is life-changing. If you love wilderness and you have good camera gear and you want a rare experience, go. Tell 'em I sent you. My pix are all RAW and then processed down to small JPGs for SmugMug. Hope they don't disappoint.
The lodge in the late afternoon. Ourt back there's a chainwire enclosure several metres high whereguests can go out there to smoke or get fresh air. But you don't go out the front door unless there's a guide with you, armed with a shotgun. Our room was behind the last window on the left. It has bars because sometimes bears try to break in. I was guarded while I took this picture. That's Mike Reimer standing just outside the front door, shotgun in hand.
