Background: Mountaineering trip to the Bugaboos in British Columbia over the Fourth of July.
Thoughts: If you are going out to play in nature, make sure that at least some of your shots do your journey justice. This photo is exactly what it appears to be. He was precariously perched on the top of a large rock that was on the way up to the summit of Pigeon Spire. Wind howling in our ears and threatening our every move piled on top of the crazy 500 foot drop on either side of this rock, but look at that view! Make sure that if you're out in nature and enjoying its sheer awesomeness, that you snap at least one or two pictures that demonstrate that. This picture was taken with my point-and-shoot and I couldn't be happier. Yes, it could be technically better but I think it definitely does justice to our surroundings and the activity that put us there.
