    Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

There’s something magical about nighttime photography.

Since beating the cancer, I’ve kept my wandering close to home.

The Canadian wilds draw me like a magnet. Snow-capped peaks, glassy calm lakes, high mountain sunsets, prairie sunrises, flowers, creatures, wild weather, and the aurora – oh, the aurora. All of these capture my imagination, fill me with awe, and keep me alive.

I’ve seen real wilderness – places where hardly a sole has tread – large animals such as cougars, wolves, bears, moose, elk, deer, mountain goats, pronghorns, and mountain sheep. And smaller ones too, like badgers, pikas, groundhogs, weasels, wild rabbits and other critters.

And there’s no denying I felt very much alive coming upon this grizzly while hiking.

Randy Milanovic is based in Calgary AB Canada, just at the point where the Canadian Rockies meet the Canadian Prairies. Thankfully, Bortle 1-3 Dark Skies are accessible within a 90-minute drive which makes night sky photography possible and nearly light pollution-free.

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 Region of Southern Alberta.
