SLEEPING IN THE MOONLIGHT
With the full moon looming behind him, this polar bear nestles down for the night. Snuggling up on top of a rocky hill, he lies comfortably as he puts his head down at the end of a long day. Italian Marco Gaiotti, 30, took these photographs of this sleepy polar bear in Northern Svalbard Archipelago, Norway, during a beautiful full moon at sunset. 'I desperately wanted to take a picture of a polar bear with the full moon behind it,' says Marco, of Genova, Italy.
