Hinterland

Hinterland It is not a romantic outpost but a place of survival The landscape, mountains and forests are war zones where battles are ongoing. There are no rulebooks here, it is raw capitalism in action, the strongest always wins. A moose cow’s newborn must get up ready to run in minutes after birth predators are on the hunt. Wolf packs fight over dominance; insects kill insects In this dance of death, the sparrow eats flies. The talon of an eagle grips a trout and eat it alive. When the sleeping bear awakes, pity the salmon. This cycle of life if broken by man, spells disaster.
