A soft summer night in the marsh

My shoes have never been the same since I started tromping through this muck. That part didn't bother me so much, but I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to make a hasty escape if something started running after me. I didn't see anything that would start a chase... there was a herd of about 14 elk about 300 meters away. I had never seen them stampede randomly in the direction of a photographer, so I felt kinda good about that. Remember, all of these were just half-fleeting thoughts that were only half-baked... I was mostly just peacefully staring at the sunset and listening to my iPod alone in the wilderness.

Wow, beautiful! Wet shoes are not really the nicest feeling though. Even less so out there in the wilderness.

Well I hope you think that risking your life with the possible elk stampede was worth it because I do! This shot is amazing. It is quite possible the best sunset picture I've ever seen!
