The Spirit Bear

Autumn Bear Shadow Highlands NC Landscape Photography

This stunning mountain landscape features the rare phenomenon of the elusive shadow of a bear who appears to be leaping over the valley below. An amazing event that only happens on a few days each year when the sun is at precisely the correct angle over the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina near the town of Highlands, NC.
