EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of a Mountain hare (Lepus timidus) in its natural habitat in the Scottish Highlands, Scotland. The image showcases the hare's exquisite blue fur against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and lush green grass. With its piercing gaze and alert posture, the hare seems perfectly at ease in this serene landscape. The Scottish Highlands are known for their breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife, making it a popular travel destination for nature enthusiasts. This photograph encapsulates the allure of this region, with its vast open spaces and untouched wilderness. The Mountain hare is an iconic species native to Europe, specifically found in regions such as Scotland. Also known as tundra hares or snow hares, they have adapted to survive harsh winter conditions by changing their fur color from brownish-gray to white during snowy months. This adaptation allows them to blend seamlessly into their surroundings and evade predators. In this image, we see the hare sitting amidst heather bushes while snow gently falls around it. The photographer's focus on the foreground highlights not only the intricate details of the animal but also emphasizes its connection with nature. David and Louise Gibbon/Robert Harding have masterfully captured this moment that showcases both the gracefulness of these wild creatures and their ability to thrive in challenging environments. This print serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and encourages us to appreciate and protect these precious habitats for future generations.
