Highlight Gallery & New Additions-Updated 2023.9.19.

The Images in this gallery are in random order, they represent some of the best that you can see many more of in the main body of Galleries.
Several months ago I had to upgrade my Graphics Card and Computer Screen. It made me aware of images I posted in too big of a hurry and others that I could develop better. I'm slowly going through this gallery first and trying to upgrade as many as possible.
Samples of the most recently added images are now being added to the beginning pages. All Images in this Gallery are protected by US copyright law. No images may be copied or downloaded without formal written permission from Tom Jesiolowski/Northland Arts Nature Images.

  • What a day shooting Grizzlys digging out Ground Squirrels. 1984.9#100.8. And to make it even better Guy J. and I got to spend it with Mishio Hoshino. Thoro Pass, Denali Park Alaska.
  • Black Bear 1980.8#11.4. Guy J. and I were hiking in the hills west of Wonder Lake when this big Black Bear busted out of a gully in front of us. Black Bears are pretty uncommon in Denali. He offered no shots until he started up this ridge across from us. Salvaged and repaired from an old film negative. Denali Park Alaska.
  • A really large boar Black Bear with a small female. 1980.8.8#2.4. These bears have staked out a small stream where Pink Salmon are coming in. Long Bay, Prince William Sound, Alaska.
  • A Brown Bear sow that had a couple of cubs. 1997.7#25.3. She was snorkeling for salmon in the Pink Salmon hole below the parking lot when I looked over the bank. She then rushed out of the river and came right up to the bottom of the bank. When she dropped down and seemed to be headed for the river I slowly started down the staircase built by the Forest Service to get a better view point. She wheeled around and came half way up the staircase. I decided to go to a different area on the river. Pink Salmon Hole and Parking area on the Russian River. Kenai Peninsula Alaska. No way to know for sure but I always wondered if she may have been the bear that mauled Dan Bigley a few years later. She was by far the largest sow and most aggressive scary bear I ever encountered on Russian River.
  • A young Brown Bear. 2006.7.31#0087.8. This bear is fishing and hunting scraps and carcasses in the lower Russian River where everyone is sport fishing. Kenai Peninsula Alaska.

  • An Alaska Brown Bear. 2010.8.12#102.4. One of the oldest and largest wild bears to ever live in North America since the last Ice Age. He was 23 years old when I captured this image. He made regular trips between Brooks Falls and here at the McNeil River Falls. He was never challenged for his fishing hole here at McNeil. He has just caught another Chum Salmon. Alaska Peninsula, Alaska. This is a redo of the original image I first developed in 2010. See this bear and many others in the Bear section of this Gallery.
