White Fang

He is tireless and ready to follow anyone who goes on a campaign. As you walk, he rushes around, squeezes mice, raises partridges and stumbles on bumps, whimpering with impatience, chasing after departing birds. This dog seems to have an atomic charge, which gives it energy for a long journey.

Once, while walking along the route of Variants, I found a puddle in which the snow-covered mountains of the Big Anngachak ridge were reflected. It was located not far from the flowing lake, where we were going to fish. Towards evening, I took a fishing pole and a camera with me to take pictures of the mountains illuminated by the rays of the setting sun. Caught for the soup the right amount of graylings, left the tackle to his friend and went to the puddle to guard the sunset. On the way, I met guys from the camp that are standing on the Lake of the Dancing Harious, they went on an evening fishing trip to that lake and with them was like a wolf dog. He wanted to follow me, but the master forced him to return.

Located on the shore of a picturesque puddle, I was waiting for the right light, swarming mosquitoes did not let me get bored. For 2.5 hours of waiting it became noticeably cooler and I spread a fire, just off the puddle. At the chosen point of shooting returned, when the light on the mountain peaks began to warm up. Meanwhile, the dog near the owner was completely bored and he, having turned around next to the fishermen, went to my side. Going out on a stone near a puddle, he stopped and froze, looked at the mountains, then at me. All I had to do then was to throw up the camera, equipped with a television, and, building up the frame, press the trigger. So this photo turned out, for that evening the only and unique. The sunset was swallowed by a cloud and there was no good light, only White Fang remained, adorned with this landscape. From such luck I was completely delighted. This could only happen on Lake Jack London, where miracles often happen.
