I was out shooting the Milky Way and taking timed exposures when something truly magical happened. As the Milky Way faded with the coming dawn, the sky transformed into this beautiful pink color from the low sun rising on the opposite side. I just couldn’t believe my eyes, as this was the first time I had witnessed color like this, thinking it might have been someone’s headlamp. I had never seen the blue hour painted with such amazing shades before!
I was all bundled up with double wool socks and layers, just soaking in the most magical hour of the day. It was an unforgettable experience that still gives me goosebumps — a gift of Patagonia! Finally, a sky that was magical after backpacking for the past eight days here with my husband.
