“Snow bison”
Location: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
“Max Waugh catches sight of a plains bison kicking up flurries of snow over its bulky frame.
From his vehicle, Max saw the bison start to head downhill towards the road, gathering momentum, and he drew up to give them space to cross. Max framed the bison tightly to create this original composition. Once abundant and wide-ranging across most of North America, bison were hunted to near extinction by the late 1800s. Numbers are slowly increasing, but they are confined to discrete populations, dependent on conservation management and constrained by land-use changes and land ownership.”
