Description
Beyond the trail to Fitzroy Basecamp, Argentine Patagonia.I could hear falling water in the distance so I decided to hike cross country down to a canyon away from the trail to Fitzroy basecamp. When I got down to the river, I found this beautiful series of cascades rimmed with fresh ice after a cold autumn night. A few days later I got up at 3am and planned to hike solo back to this location for sunrise. As I came around a bend in the trail, my headlamp illuminated the eyes of a crouching puma, only a few feet away next to the trail. I was alone, it was pitch black, and the body language of the puma convinced me to slowly back away and abandon my plans for sunrise...

That must have been a scary moment, confronted by a Puma in the wilderness, by yourself, in the pitch black! What a capture this is though, stunning light on the mountain peaks, and the overall composition with the falls in the lower half is superb.

Unreal. Guess that was nature telling you that you nailed it the first time and didnt need to return. Way to not get dead. Epic shot.
