If You Give a Moose a Mountain
Storm Pass, Rocky Mountain National Park
f/9 | 1/200s | 55mm | ISO 800
I arrived at the parking lot just as the alpenglow was reaching peak brightness. Eager to take some pictures, I hurried down to the river’s edge and took a composition that I knew very well. After a while, my concious got the better of me and I decided I should challenge myslef to find a new composition that I hadn’t captured before. As I was traversing down a clearly defined pathway, I glanced to my right and low and behold there were not one, but TWO juvenile moose grazing near the waters edge. Too shocked to realize I should probably be looking out for the momma moose, I took a plethora of pictures, while the mountains were bathed in beautiful morning light. A few rustles in the nearside bushes alerted me of the imminent danger lurking in the shadows. I quickly realized that the dark shape that I thought was a rock was indeed a mother moose and I quickly retreated to a safer position where I was able to view the moose and not disturb their morning breakfast.
