Polar Bear spotted - in Scotland?
« on: December 27, 2010, 00:30:56 »
Although we are supposed to be by the gulf stream, it has been so cold this week that there was ice floating in the sea here. 
On Christmas Eve Junior took these photos for me (I was busy finishing making gifts for the three wise men to carry!)
This is just outside our garden - in Southern Scotland!





I loved the kayak one, I'd never tried putting one on the water before, but Junior said it floated really well.

A few more photos from different angles -

Junior had got the sea on a slope in this one, but I liked the way that it looked as if the kayak was being paddled so I rotated it until the sea was in line!



Two more of the lone polar bear  and the ice flows...





He had thought of taking some with seals, but his feet were cold so he came in!
Hope you like them, I know I'm his mum, but I was very impressed with them.

WOW :wow:! Real snow & scenery makes projects like these so realistic! Tell Jounior he did a great job, the pictures look National Geographic quality ;)!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Oh, these really do look great! The polar bear and eskimo look very happy to be out in the water and ice.  ;) Very good pics, and the sea is so beautiful as a backdrop.

Thank you all ... I'll pass your comments on to Junior.
Yes Bonnie, I decided I needed a winter avatar. The cats aren't on this one as they were busy sleeping in the comfort of a warm room, but I feed the seagulls and they always gather whenever I go outside, so they are in this one. -
This is the first photo I took, but there were a few too many seagulls in it!

These are amazing pictures Junior!!! They look much better out in the wild, then piled on the top shelf of a fridge *grin*

The tilted one is my fav as well :-)
