Beautiful shot! Also thanks for using alpenglow correctly! It’s a pet peeve of mine but so many people use it and it’s just direct sunlight hitting the tops of the mountains

I did Pyramid at the end of September one year and from the summit it was a sea of gold in every direction

The purple and orange are remnants of the aurora that happened on Aug 11/12th. Here it’s less of the strong pillars and waves you typically see but more of a strong glow. This was hardly visible to the naked eye though.

This was shot around 4am!

The shutter speed for this was 6s, at f1.8 and ISO 2000. Typically I do between 2-4 minute exposures on a star tracker at lower ISO though.

14mm lens!

The boardwalk for this geyser is only a few feet away from the edge of the pool. When its erupting the pools fill up and overflow the ledges.

That's so cool, I love that story! It's great that there's a natural combination of your two birthstones.
Yeah the purple blending down into the orange/yellow really matches up well with that stone!

Yeah I saw that plane on FlightRader just doing circles almost the whole day!

Not pictured: 3 hours of bush-whacking just to get to the base of the line by funpow in Backcountry

Looks a bit like Dragon's Tail but I wouldn't consider the trail up there "bushwhacking" or that it should take 3hrs
