Scientific name: Lepus arcticus; arctic hare

Location: Blomsterbukten, Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, Greenland

Description: Leaving the group behind, I took the path less travelled and embraced an opportunity to explore the rocky hillsides of Blomsterbukten in Greenland. I literally stumbled upon this couple of Arctic Hares. Immediately alerted to my presence, yet not familiar with human presence, they froze in anticipation. I immediately sunk to my knees and waited....and waited. With time they became more habituated to my presence and started to interact with each other once more. I sought this opportunity to frame what appears to be a stolen moment for this couple of hares.

Description: Exploring Scoresbysund by zodiac provided an opportunity to get up close and personal with the towering icebergs. I stumbled across a towering iceberg, intricately laced by flutes, created a piped effect across the iceberg just above the waterline.

Arctic Fox, Searching

info@tarajiblue.com (Taraji Blue Photography) — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 21:54:13 GMT

Scientific name: Alopex lagopus

Location: Hekla Havn, Greenland

Description: Whilst watching two ptarmigans, I was alerted to a presence high on the rocky hillside above me. I looked straight into the eyes of a juvenile arctic fox. Our eyes locked, as he continued his slow descent down the hillside, progressing ever closer to me. Without a tripod, and very aware that I had this one chance to adjust my position to get a decent shot, I threw myself over an adjacent rock, using it to steady my arms. Here I waited....My patience paid off, and the fox ambled slowly towards me, never faltering. With my heart pounding in my ears, he came closer and closer, ever inquisitive at my presence. My stone-like statue did not waver as he ran around me, taking every opportunity to interact, even sniffing my back as I lay on the rock. After a few playful minutes he ran off, alerted by the presence of other people. It was then I sat up and realised why he'd been so inquisitive ...I had inadvertently thrown myself into a pile of wet and fresh fox dung. No wonder I was so appealing!

Notes: Hand-hand, using a rock as a tripod.

Boston, In Ice And Warmth

info@tarajiblue.com (Taraji Blue Photography) — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 23:24:17 GMT

An jagged ice sheet mimics the Boston skyline, reflected in the Charles River as the sun sets over the city. The tall building on the left is the John Hancock Tower; the building to the right with antennas is the Prudential Tower. This shot was taken from the Longfellow Bridge, looking south west, after an interminably long wait in the freezing cold for the sun to set low enough for the colours to leak into the ice.
