These guys were on the other side of a big pane of glass. At the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota.
When shooting dancers I enjoy looking for moments on the "edges" of the performance itself - here, just the silhouette of the dancers as the performance begins. A piece called "Running with the Wolves" by dancers from the Prince Rupert Dance Academy. I've been lucky to have seen and photographed this number several times this season. Enjoy it every time.

Badlands National Park (Lakota: Makȟóšiča) is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park's North Unit as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957–58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. The movies Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.
This national park was originally a reservation of the Oglala Sioux Indians and spans the southern unit of the park. The area around Stronghold Table was originally Sioux territory, and is revered as a ceremonial sacred site rather than a place to live.
In 1868, at the Second Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States assured the Sioux that the Badlands shall forever be the property of the Sioux. In 1889, however, the treaty was broken and the Badlands were confiscated by the United States and unilaterally incorporated into a national park.
At the end of the 19th century, the Sioux Indians used this area as the site of the Ghost Dance, a ceremony to revive the souls of buffalo and the dead. After the last ghost dance in 1890, the United States banned the ritual, but it was revived by the Red Power movement, a movement to restore Indian rights that began in the 1960s. In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court awarded compensation to the Sioux for the abrogation of the 1868 treaty, but the Sioux did not accept the money.

Successfully reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, after a 70-year absence.
This grand ecological experiment triggered a trophic cascade, resulting in more ducks.
Wolves thin the elk population, allowing more saplings to grow to maturity, providing more wood for the beavers, making more wetland for the ducks, and shading the river for trout populations.
The wolves are a keystone species in this ecosystem.
The Lamar Canyon Pack cornered this elk against the cliff and, according to observers, had latched onto the elk's hind quarters when the elk kicked loose and jumped down to the ledge below the cliff. Unwilling to engage the elk on the cliff, the pack waited above, and a standoff ensued. The elk eventually won as the pack left it for easier prey down in the valley. By the next morning, the pack had crossed the road and made a kill near the Lamar River. Although the wolves were visible each of our 3 days in the park, this was unfortunately the closest we were able to view them ( about half a mile away).
