Polar Bear Crossing Leaves at Winter Twilight in beside a tidal inlet in Lapland

Polar Bear Crossing Leaves at Winter Twilight

by Melinda Andrews

Flat gray light from a heavy overcast sky falls across a muddy tidal inlet in Lapland, illuminating a layer of yellowed birch leaves scattered on the ground. A massive polar bear steps forward, its white fur blending with the dim atmosphere while its dark paws press into the damp earth. In the distance, dark shapes of birds lift from the water's edge, wings spread against the low horizon. The view sits low near the soil, placing the bear's thick legs and the wet texture of the mud directly in the foreground. A curled leaf rests against the mud beside the bear's left hind paw.
