"Mystical Meadows"

A self portrait taken during a 4-day trekking/camping adventure in the Canadian Rockies. The night before this, we went to sleep to the sound of crashing thunder and heavy rain on our tent... And knowing that storms usually lead to a magical weather window, I mentally prepared for an early wake-up the next day. Sure enough, at 5am my partner and I peeked out of the tent to see our surroundings completely shrouded in the dreamiest mist. We scrambled to get up, make coffee and quickly pack up our camera gear. We hiked a little ways up the mountain with our coffees searching for the perfect dreamy scene, when I saw this meadow and the inspiration instantly hit to take this self portrait. It was a little rushed as the fog was burning off fast with the rising sun, but this morning will go down as one of my favourites of the summer... Aye indeed, summer in these mountains has completely captured my heart (except for the millions of mosquitoes... the mosquitoes have not captured my heart).
