Polar Bear
Hauled up on
A boulder of floating ice
He fell asleep
And drifted.
Waves rocked him
Till Svalbard was
Almost out of sight...
Likewise his thoughts sailed
In Arctic dreams
Of hunting and stars
And the passage of days
Stretching out to a lost horizon
Where, in a shroud of fog,
He was heading
Anyway.

British amateur photographer Nima Sarikhani won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award with his awesome picture of a sleeping young polar bear drifting away from Norway's Svalbard archipelago. See my Longyearbyen post from last October.
