In April – just as the brown bears emerge from hibernation – the taiga in northern Finland is still covered in snow. Although there is no guarantee of seeing bears this early in the season, I travelled to the northeastern part of Finland near the Russian border, hoping to capture images of this magnificent mammal in the snow. One evening, as the sun was about to set, I was lucky: a huge bear came very close to the hide and paused for a while in a perfect position.
