Clear Night Wolves 

Robert Bateman

“I do not mean this to be a frightening picture. The wolves, which normally avoid eye contact, are staring straight at you. Although they sense your presence, they can’t quite make you out. They are alert and interested, but not about to attack. They are equal to the viewer; they are on the same level. The feeling of slight tension and respect between you and them is mutual . You are in their domain. Now that they know about you, the will melt into the gloom.”
