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.
Just after I took this picture, the bear stood up and it was well over my 6ft tall. Ian had told me: "If it stands up, bang on the glass, because it could come through." It did stand up, and I smacked the glass. Fortunately, it didn't like the noise and dropped to all fours. But it was "interesting" for a moment.
