Captured in Rocky Mountain National Park on a cold, December morning. After hiking for a short time in the twilight, I situated myself on a rock as I began to dig through my camera bag and admire the light starting to touch the huge peaks that surrounded me. After I snapped this photo, I knew I captured one I'd be looking back at time and time again. As ecstatic as I was about the photo I just captured, I was quickly humbled my realizing my pants were frozen to the rock. The perfect moment.
