It's so cold even a polar bear came to visit!

This is really Cultural Day 2 but I preferred the other title! Spring seems to have disappeared! Today my sister and I visited the Art Gallery to see the exhibition "Wunderkammer." Rod McRae uses taxidermy as his form of art to make statements on the environment and climate change debates. NO animals were killed for this exhibition, but retrieved from natural deaths.

Now that would have been an interesting exhibition to visit, is that Rod having a chat to the Polar Bear?

[Peter Grave]

Well you could say that he,s stuffed !!

[Denise]

Nice shot.

[Kat]

Looks like you're about to get a polar bear kiss! Sounds like an interesting exhibit. Great shot. :)

[Sam]

I want to know if his fur was as soft and fluffy as it looks!!??!!

[Denise Wood]

@gigiflower It certainly looked beautiful, but that was the one thing we couldn't do - DO NOT TOUCH! But we were allowed to take photos luckily :)
@darthkitty Would have loved a kiss :)
@peterlgrave Yep! Sure was stuffed :)
@hermann Not rod :)
@denisedaly Thanks Denise from another Denise :)

[Milanie]

Very nice shot - he's adorable - if you can see that about someone this big. Like the way you composed this.

[Johanna Koppes]

A rare opportunity to see the most ferocious predator in the world. Great shot.

[Islandgirl]

This is a really bold image, love the effect of the polar bear next to the woman!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely capture, was he telling you the bear facts.

[Poppo Livy]

He must be frozen stiff. Ha ha ha nice shot Denise

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot . Beautiful polar bear.

[Janiskay]

@radiogirl wow that must've been some exhibition. I would love to say something like that.. I love the photo I didn't realize that it was taxidermy. The bear looks so real so alive.

[Leah]

Wow!!! Fantastic shot of this polar bear!!! So realistic looking!!! Well preserved and really neat that they don't kill animals for their displays!!!

[Kathie]

Great shot. Too bad he's stuffed but then again it was natural.

[Denise Wood]

@milaniet @hellie @radiogirl @pyrrhula @janiskay @lealady Thanks all for your visits and great comments. He was truly adorable and I would have loved to bring him home to add to my bear collection :)
@ladymagpie He gave me many bear facts that I didn't know before :)
@terryliv Very frozen, but his fur kept him warm :)
@kathiecb Pity he was stuffed, but if he wasn't I don't think I'd be that close :)

[Gena Pegg]

WOW...sooo life like. Your sisters just seems to calm though! haha!! WOnderful shot.

[Jane Anderson]

That's amazing taxidermy! I love the way the bear is posed and also his tongue.
