Capture Notes
In keeping with our tradition of celebrating our wedding anniversary in a special way, we headed out to the Gardner, Colorado area for a weekend camping and Milky Way photography trip. During the summer of 2020, there were wildfires throughout the West, so although the Spanish Peaks are in the background (behind the careless-headlamp lit trees in the foreground), they are quite obscurred by the smoke that filled the air for what felt like the entire summer of 2020.
