http://maldon.smugmug.com/gallery/2312064_dpcwB/ 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. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Travel Wed, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 -0800 Sat, 06 Jan 2007 19:27:29 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
