Definitely something else, Horia.
13000 B.C. Seems like yesterday/-) I believe this was just before the invention of photography:-)
140 animals inside this cave...pfff.
Interesting shot.

Hi Horia!

Indeed, it's impressive. And I almost can feel the fresh breeze in my neck... Hmm, glad to see you back!

:-)

More seriously: I believe it's a good idea to show the other side of nature. Death is part of all what lives, and your picture reminds us this reality in an impressive way. Moreover, the special light conditions and the colour tones highlight the effect and atmosphere created in your picture. Your notes are very interesting, too.

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Horia!
this picture is really something new! I do not remember too many captures of animal bones in TN, especially some paleontological pictures :)
Very good idea and contribution to diversity of topics in this web page :)
Have a nice week!

Ciao Horia,
spettacolare immagine, splendida composizione che rende molto bene l'atmosfera della caverna con eccellenti definizione dei dettagli di questo scheletro e di questo sito importante dal punto di vista paleontologico, accompagnato dalle tue interessanti note;
eccellente immagine anche dal punto di vista strettamente fotografico.
TFS.

Where else in this world are we so diverse...so widely varied in nationality and religion and philosophy... but we come together to hold each other up in photos which to the millions may seem easy to take..but those people who go out to Wal-Mart or whatever discount in their country and buy a camera..this does not make them a photographer..NOR does getting paid...it must mean something but not sure..I was a paid pro for dozens of years..but times have changed..and now the world opens to us through people with good eyes, good gear and the good mindful thought to post it where it will hit a home run!

This is great Horia,
It must have been wonderful to see this ancient cave bear.
I used to do a bit of bone digging in caves here, and had quite a few bones of extinct Moa birds.
You've captured this old skeleton very well with good subtle lighting.
A great job.
Cheers

Salut
Uite, l-am vazut si eu acum vreo 4-5 ani. Ah, tot verde a ramas!
bravos pentru idee...sa prezinti ceva ce a locuit o data pe pamant.
Toate cele bune, Oana

Hi Horia

What a great post. An unfortunate end to this group of bears, it must have been horrible for them trapped in such a situation.
Great comopsition and presentation.

Buna Horia,

Lumina din fotografia ta este surprinzatoare fiind foarte calda si frunoasa. Nu imi dau seama ce fel de corpuri de iluminat ai folosit, iluminarea in pestera fiind o problema tehnica complexa. Subiectul este de asemenea interesan si bine redat cu detalii clare.

Felicitari,
Cristian

This is a fascinating photo and note Horia. It's hard to imagine 140 bears in one cave! What an horrific end for those animals. Nature is so fickle.

Hello Horia

An amazing thing you have taken a photo of.
You must feel something extra being there and seeing that in person.
Well taken with sharp detail and focus.

Wowwww! That's awesome, Horia!
Are the skeletons just lying there on the ground, or in cases and stuff?
Very good light that's really atmospheric.
Excellent composition.

Very impressive stuff mate!

Cheers,
Joe

TrekOLDnature.*g* excellent capture and interesting post - never heard of that amazing place before - 140 bears in one cave is
really hard to imagine. 3 sec´s exposure - i guess it was quite dark in there - you did great - the lighting and the brown
tones turned out perfect. well done & best wishes, thor.
