I was born in Oviedo (Spain), in 1971. I studied Biology at the Oviedo University. I worked during many years in brown bears (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus signatus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) research projects. Now I’m freelance wildlife photographer since 1994, especialized in wildlife and landscapes, but also travel and other reports.

    One of the most superb photos I`ve seen. The exposure and composition, not to mention the timing is just great.

  13. Jim Cornish Says:

    Sometimes good photography is a matter of being in the right place at the right time, intentionally or accidentally. With the shortness the northern lights sometimes appear, this is probably a case of the latter. Beautiful timimg Juan and a beautiful shot. Makes you want to climb and have a look over the edge!
