Depolarized...

I happen to live in a city which houses polar bears in its zoo!! That really goes a long way to tell stories about the weather in Buffalo....(whatever happened to the kid born and brought up in the sweltering Calcutta heat??!)
Anyway, coming back to the story, we made a field trip to the zoo for a photo project and I was particularly enchanted by the polar bears. I spent a long time trying to capture their activities. This dude...(could have been a dudette as well) ...took a long spalsh in some ice water before deciding to catch a power nap in the cool shade. In preparation for the nap, he conjured up some awesome poses which I snapped up very gratefully.
This was taken sometime in the early summer this year.
