In late October, I was driving through Gaspésie National Park in Quebec. The sun was setting and I couldn’t believe my luck. The top of this mountain was lit up with golden light but fading fast. I pulled over, grabbed my gear, and took a few photos beside Rivière Saint-Anne. Within a minute the light was gone and I had a big smile on my face.
