A Finnish photographer witnessed a scene almost plucked from a storybook fairytale. From the safety of a cottage, he captured a seemingly magical scene of three bear cubs that appear to dance in a circle while their mother watches on. As bears tend to avoid human contact, such images are indeed rare and unusual.
Valtteri Mulkahainen is a physical education teacher from Sotkamo in Finland who has been dedicating his free time to photographing beautiful scenes of flora and fauna in his country. It was June 2013 when he saw the mother bear and her three cubs while exploring a forest around the town of Martinselkonen.
