Algonquin Dawn

This is what dawn looks like after spending a whole night awake under the stars. The night was both beautiful and fearful, as Black Bears lurked close by in the woods. The sight of dawn was incredibly beautiful and relieving.

In the middle of the night, black bears growling outside of our tent sent us screaming. We spend the rest of the night away under the beautiful stars. Their beauty was masked in the terror of the night, and we decided to wait it out by the campfire until dawn.
