'The Alpine Nightclub' - Vancouver Island

I thought this would be a great place to pitch tent and make camp.

 

All day I was feeling pretty smug about the idyllic location so I got comfy and sprawled out all of my gear to bed down for the night.

 

As soon as I got snug in my sleeping bag, exhausted from a long day of climbing and shooting with multiple muscle cramps, I realized my error.

 

We picked this spot not just because of the spectacular view but also because it was right next to a snow melt pond that we could use for drinking water.

 

The frogs also used it as a nightclub.

 

It starts with one ''croak'' just as I began falling asleep.

 

He continued several more times and seemed to give up.

 

I then began to fall asleep until he started again.

 

This eventually gets answered by a female not too far away which triggers multiple responses from other males.

 

And so, the alpine nightclub begins.

 

I got 13 minutes of sleep and I did have a face like a burst appendix during the morning sunrise shoot - but that's another story...

 

Thanks for reading.
