I am very happy today to receive the blog a photographer I really appreciate and honored us to share with us one of these photographic journey.
Of course, leave for wildlife photography may apply to board a lot of material, heavy to boot! The landscape picture is a little less heavy on the back but combine the two often returns to forgo long trips, unless you can leave some of the equipment in a safe place.
Alaska luxury bedding sets was one of the destinations I had on my bucket list for a while, especially going to observe grizzly bears (about 35,000 luxury bedding sets in this part of the world) fish when the salmon returning from the Pacific Ocean toward their natal river after a journey of several thousand kilometers. And this is the first impressive point always at the same time, still in the river where they were born!
To get there the simpler luxury bedding sets it is a direct flight, there is not much choice, only one company provides a link between Europe and Anchorage. Finally when I say direct means stopover in Frankfurt.
After 10 hours of flight and a night in Anchorage, the airport management for an internal flight of about one hour in the direction of King Salmon or we took a seaplane flight for another 25 minutes for Brooks Camp. Our first step is the Katmai National Park for three nights camping in tents.
The first site we chose therefore took us to the fall of the river Brooks (Brooks Falls). It is a place known photographers luxury bedding sets and videographers. A single spot that can be observed up to a bear twenty in fishing salmon trying to cross this natural barrier to returning to spawn in their place of origin.

Large dominant males do not leave their favorite places without a real confrontation which the younger would be wrong to try. Depending luxury bedding sets bears, size, age, weight ... there are several fishing techniques.
Some wait patiently luxury bedding sets at the foot of the fall until the salmon runs between their legs, simple luxury bedding sets technique and effective when salmon are many more that requires minimal effort.

But the effectiveness of this impressive luxury bedding sets technique varies according to many factors (location of the jump, water level, size of salmon and groups who come to the fall and finally experience and age of bears).
Another technique is to move in the river eyes and snout in the water to catch prey directly (only the ears stay out of the water to remain alert to dangers around. Last of which seem particularly younger luxury bedding sets followers is to locate luxury bedding sets a school of salmon hiding in the shade of the leaves and run after jumping above. indeed This technique requires more energy and mobility, is a bear of 800 pounds will be more difficult that an individual 500 pounds. Its success will depend more on speed and agility grizzly bear as its strength and size.
The annual salmon regulates far more than the lives of fishermen in this region. Threatened more each year by over-fishing, it affects not only the survival of different species of salmon but also many birds and mammals, including grizzly bears mainly (but also wolves, foxes, lynx ...). It is one of the mysteries of nature, like the wildebeest migration in Kenya and butterflies in Mexico.
At the end of hibernation (which lasts about 6 months), the Bears have lost about 50% of their body weight! And some berries, herbs or carcasses available snowmelt replenish only indicator of fat reserves lost during the great cold. Salmon is a dish of choice. A kilogram of wild salmon represents about 1,800 calories (the equivalent of 9 cheesburgers). An adult grizzly bear can consume up to 45 pounds of salmon per day, or about 80 & rsquo
