a Sign of the Polar Bear (Svalbard #5)

Literally. Svalbard original inhabitants are polar bears. People are just temporary visitors. Well and that bears (sic!) consequences. If you leave a settlement, especially in the winter, you are obliged to take a riffle with you. The airport of Longyearbyen has a very popular sign to indicate the very danger. Maybe one of the few street signs with a black background, but how would you see a white bear otherwise? Quite experimental to take these shots as it was pitch black...
