Over the weekend I came across a link to a live web cam situated in Brooks Falls Alaska. A place that is obviously a popular fishing spot for the local brown bear population. After spending about 25 or 30 minutes watching 3 quite large brown bears fishing (not too successfully) in the stream this momma bear wandered into the scene with her two cubs. The really cool thing is that there is a camera icon on the screen and, if you see a moment that you'd really like to capture, you can use it to take a snap shot of what is on camera at that time and e-mail it to yourself, or someone else. So I sort of took this picture remotely, from about 3,500 miles away ( 5,700km) and with no control over the camera settings, just the power to decide exactly when to press the shutter.If you want to have a look here is the link, but I warn you, if there are bears there when you check in, it's hard to move away and there might go an hour or so of your time. http://explore.org/live-cams/player/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls
