Climate change
A polar bear is reduced to just a small white spot between a couple of patches of snow in the late summer landscape, Vikingebugt, Scoresby Sund, Greenland. In the background a waterfall has formed from melting snow and ice. With climate change the rate that the Greenland ice sheet is melting is accelerating, contributing to the rise in global water levels and endangering the survival of indigenous species.

on February 4, 2020Wow, this is very sad and truly tells the story of their shrinking terrain. I do love the photo, and it really shows the climate issue. I bet Nat Geo would like this shot. Thanks too for your comment on Bill's shot of me shooting sporting clays. And yes, I would never consider shooting the real thing. I enjoy the challenge of the game, while knowing that it's just breaking a clay disk.

on February 4, 2020The negative space gives us a sense of scale and makes us feel small in this vast wilderness, great photo Terry.

on February 4, 2020Good to see the bear, sad to see the impact of climate change.
Re: Ring-necked Ducks--I've always though ring-billed would be more appropriate, based on their markings. There IS a slightly purplish ring around the necks of the males, but it is seldom seen, and really can't be easily used as an identifying field mark.
