Exploding Victory Drink On Top of Mt Jumbo in Juneau, Alaska

My sister, dad and I hiked up to the top of a local mountain, Mt Jumbo. It was a long hike on a hot day, and we brought some canned gin and tonics to celebrate. I was taking a picture of my sister as she was opening the can with a beautiful backdrop of Juneau behind her, when foam from the drink exploded dramatically all over her. We both laughed so hard that I forgot I was even taking a picture. It wasn't until I got home and looked at my photos that I realized I actually caught the moment in a photo, immortalized forever.
