Brown Bear, Haines, Alaska (See Sunday Challenge narrative)
We were visiting a state park near Haines, Alaska, when a crowd of people moved towards us rather rapidly. They said there was a brown bear walking along the lakeshore and they were getting out of the way.
We set up our long telephoto lenses on our cameras, and took a look around. Indeed this bear was walking the shoreline, and we managed to get some interesting views.
OK, now for the Sunday Challenge. I noted from the invitation that the subject could be an actual "sliding door" or some such object, or could be a moment in one's life where a simple decision could have a major effect.
Of all the photos I've posted to Ipernity, this would be the nearest to a "sliding door" moment. We drove into the parking lot of the state park, and took our cameras out for some photo opportunities. I was first out, while Sandra gathered her equipment. I turned right, and walked to the hill overlooking the lake and river. There was the bear, and this is the photo. If I had turned left, I would have walked right into the path of this grizzly bear, and who can predict the outcome of that collision.
On review, I consider many such "sliding door" experiences in my life, but I cannot immediately find any other photos that would express them. That is a bit ironic, since it seems like I had a camera around my neck for most of my youth, from 15 years old and onward.
