Friends in the High Country
Camping in the High Country of Yosemite. This photo extends beyond the curved boundaries of Yosemite National Park, all the way to the edges our galaxy. In this image, I can feel my interdependence to the rest of the universe, while also being able to see and feel my friends. (Side note, the fire had burnt down to just a few barely glowing embers in order to get this shot to work).
This photo was published on National Geographic's Your Shot Assignment, "Behind the Adventure". The NatGeo curators for this story were Jimmy Chin & Mary Anne Potts. Check out their full story & the amazing photographs they selected by clicking the link below.
