Algonquin

The Moose is Loose
For the past few years in the early Spring I've reminded myself that I should try and get up toAlgonquin Provincial Parkto photograph Moose, preferably in late May or early June. This is the time of year when the Moose find their way down to the one highway that runs through the southern end of the park. They can been seen and photographed in relative ease and abundance. But, in past years something has always come up to prevent me from doing this.
This year (2002) the need to test out some new camping gear (in anticipation of a major international photographic trip scheduled for a few weeks later) was a good excuse. So, during the last week of May, Chris Sanderson(Director of theVideo Journal) and I went on a 2 day camping trip to Algonquin, and were able to do some enjoyable photography of these large gangly creatures. Here's the story.
