Under a Full Moon in Zion
The most personally important photo I've taken.
I've never in my life felt truly alive until this moment. I was completely aware that I was alone and at the mercy of whatever was around me...but I wasn't afraid. I felt at home. I felt like the only human on Earth...that everyone else was somehow alien, and as if it were my planet...and my planet alone. I was concious of the fact that I had ignored all standard protocols to entering the wilderness. I had told no one where I was going, I brought very little water, no food...and not enough clothes. After the moon had set, it was pitch black and I could hardly see my hand in front of my face for about an hour. That kind of darkness at 6000 feet is disconcerting to say the least, so I found a crevasse, and hid inside of it to warm up. When the sun finally peaked, and I could truly see where I was, it was as if I was seeing a different planet for the first time. It was my very own moon landing, and for a split second...I was Neil Armstrong.
The village of Springdale, Utah, in Zion National Park, under a full moon in March of 2010.
Shot taken from 5,000+ ft.
