In the winter, on Mount Arrowsmith, when the snow covers most of the mountain, around noonish, the shadows on the mountain (from ridges on the west face) cast a shadow like the profile of a young bear.
In the summer, the shadow "face" is definitely not as clear (with no snow background to make it more defined), and the profile may also change slightly, due to the lack of snow accumulation on the ridge.
Leading to the local expression that "the bear is back," as an indication that winter is here.
The winter profile is a central feature of one of the pictures hanging in Stamps Cafe, at the Best Western Barclay.
