polaroid of a young girl meeting a polar bear. The year is 1850 and the clothes reflect this. there is a snowstorm, almost a whiteout, and the image is obscured by falling snow. The bear and the girl are looking at each other. The bear is enormous, dwarfing the child. He faces the camera, large teeth visible. His fur is ((long)), thick and shaggy, matted and yellowing with dirt. The girl is an inuit with pale skin. She faces away from the camera. She is short and wiry, dressed in ancient leathers. She has dark hair beneath a fur-lined hood. Her clothes are dirty and stained leathers. It is night time, the sky is pitch black, snow covers the street and buildings around the two characters. A ramshackle building made of bare stone and corrugated iron stands alone in the background, candlelight shines from one window. There is a solitary tree beside the building, it is dead and without leaves. There are no lampposts, no signs, no phones, no technology of any kind, and no cars in the picture. PLRD
