Mount Assiniboine provincial park was a place I dreamed about for years. Finally, with a little “photography/hiking lottery” luck we had secured our camping for the week September 2021.
Although I would love to do a separate post about this trip, I wanted to highlight one of the most special nights I have ever experienced. We were nearing the end of our trip, and the weather had been incredibly variable. With our one chance at a clear night, we set out in the middle of the night in bear country to photograph the milky way.
Sometimes, nature does all the work and we are simply observers. All the bad nights and bad photographic conditions melt away with a night like this. The weather was mild, the night was quiet, the skies were clear - and the milky way was in the most perfect placement imaginable.
We sat and photographed while enjoying the night. It felt like we were the only people in the world enjoying this show. If anyone were to ask me why I do photography, this night sticks out in my mind.
Cheers, Sara.
