This photo was taken in Sitka, Alaska. Sitka is a small island that is well known for it's bear population, I took this image because it not only represents the culture of the location where it was taken and it shows a species of animal that is not often photographed. Bears are greatly admired in Alaska for their ferocious presence and representation of the state's culture of Native Americans. I did not edit this image.
