I do not mean this to be a frightening picture. The wolves, which normally avoid eye contact, are staring right at you. Although they sense your presence, they can't quite make you out. They are alert and interested, but not about to attack. They are equal to you, the viewer; they are on the same level. The feeling of slight tension and respect between you and them is mutual. You are in their domain. Now that they know about you, they will melt away into the gloom. - RB
