I don't know how many bears are found in this area but looking at the forests I think a at least a few. This is the west view from the lower slopes of Prairie Mountain. The mountains in this part of K-Country are low in height and very popular with hikers and backpackers. This trip was organized by the Calgary Outdoor Council, one of the many outdoor clubs in Calgary. Cheers :-)

Hello Roberto,

A magnificent view of the mountain range. I cannot believe your point score, the sequence of 1-2-3-4-5 points. Let this note be a reminder of where you started when you posted this lovely image.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bonjour Roberto

Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hallo Roberto!
This truly seems to be a natural region - made for hikers ;-)
I like this later winter impression with these sunlit trees in the foreground very much. A calm giving scenery ...
Greetings from not winter/not spring Germany - and have a nice weekend!

Roberto
Un magnifique endroit baigné de lumière qui doit effectivement être un paradis pour les ours. Très belle photo!

Hello Roberto,

I have been meaning to critique this photo for a while now, so thanks for prompting me. It is a wonderful thing to know that there may be bears in this area living lives in nature and not behind bars. I would guess that both Grizzly and Black Bears would be found in this region? It would be rather frightening to know that Yogi could be behind the next tree if you were hiking in the area; but I suppose stepping on one of the venomous snakes here is similarly confronting. All places have their dangerous animals, but in the case of a wild bear I think I would be cautiously delighted to see one. The photo is beautiful, yes the mountains are not as large as other parts of the district but that does not mean the place is less significant - the beauty here lies in the foliage. I like the combination of sky/snow/forest and the selective lighting arrangement. Congratulations!

Matt

Hi Roberto,
Wonderful alpine landscape with the evergreens in the foreground seen in great detail as well as the clouds over the distant mountains. The colors are vibrantly clear and contrast beautifully. It does look like a place where you might find some portly bears knocking around.
Regards, Tom

Magnifique paysage et beau point de vue sur les montagnes. J'aime beaucoup l'avant-plan de neige en diagonal et les montagnes qui s'entrecroisent. Excellente qualité d'image et superbes couleurs.
Félicitations!... et bonne semaine,

Hola Roberto,
I really like the feeling of balance and drama in this composition with the sunny FG diagonal laid against the layers of hills with their curves enhanced by the mixture of sunlight and shaodows. That showy sky with the cloud tiled in a contrasting diagonal is almost like a yin/yang symbol with the FG.

Sounds like you've found a new group to share you enjoment of the outdoors. I love your latest picture of Maddy, it looks like she is more fun every day.

HLJ, Pat

Hello,
