This composite was created on a bushwhack backcountry trip near Revelstoke, BC where I live. The foreground was taken in the blue hour in the meadows below. The night sky was taken from the summit of a nearby mountain where we spent the night in a bivouac. This was actually one of my first backcountry adventures not following any trail at all and finding our own destination. The alpine meadows we crossed had to be some of the biggest I've ever seen. The variety in flowers was incredible. As we were setting up camp on the summit I put a hole in my air mattress, which resulted in quite a chilly night. I woke up to a thick layer of frost on my sleeping bag. It was ok though because I didn't spend much time sleeping anyways between the cold and taking photos of the milky way. If you've never cowboy camped under the stars in your life, I would highly recommend it to anyone as an item on your bucket list. There's something primal about watching the universe circle around you while you're just worried about basic needs. This photograph reminds me to stay wild. Do things that are out of your comfort zone. If we stay comfortable then we stop to grow as individuals. Push your boundaries and try to do things that scare you often.
