Description
Polar bears are struggling these days due to climate change and other factors. If we lose the, we lose something that is hard to describe in population decline or a bear species in trouble. For the Native northern peoples, Polar bears are greatly respected for their strength, courage, and spiritual power, and Inuit angakkuit (shamans) frequently call upon the spirit of the polar bear. Like other spiritually powerful animals, polar bears frequently shape-shift into human form and back in Inuit mythology, putting on a white bear coat to take on their ursine form. Here I tried to capture something of their sprit and beauty under a the magical Northern Lights.

What a fabulous tribute to polar bears and their plight, Harriet. The northern lights add a mystical touch, and the border is delightful. like/f
