I come in peace...

Unbelievable bit of photojournalism. Real life events.

The photographer was sure that he was going to see the end of his dogs when the
polar bear wandered in.

It's hard to believe that this polar bear only needed to hug someone!

My dear Wife pointed out that those photos were taken by a famous photographer by the name of Norbert Rosing.

They were taken back in the 60s and included in his book "The World of the Polar Bear" published in 1992.(Firefly Press).

There are many more fabulous images in the book.

Just wanted the Attribution to be clear :hi: as these are copyrighted images and theoretically should not be published without his permission.

Thank you for pointing that out Gord. You'll notice his name has been in the OP all along.
The text and images were copied from a email going around the net.
I was just trying to pass along some warm and fuzzy in a world that can be cold and brutal.

 

[BigAndrew]

Hmmm... Those pictures are not showing anymore... I wonder if its just my computer doing it :head bang:

 

[Rat]

Still there on mine.
