css - Bootstrap 3 Align Text To Bottom of Div

Question

I'm trying to get a setup in Bootstrap that would look something like this, where I have text aligned with the bottom of an image:

================================================
|                                              |
|    ####################                      |
|    ##THIS IS AN IMAGE##                      |
|    ####################   ...And some text!  |
|                                              |
================================================

So I tried this:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-6">
        <img src="~/Images/MyLogo.png" alt="Logo" />
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-6">
        <h3>Some Text</h3>
    </div>
</div>

But I end up with something that looks more like this, where the text is top-aligned:

================================================
|                                              |
|    ####################  ...And some text!   |
|    ##THIS IS AN IMAGE##                      |
|    ####################                      |
|                                              |
================================================

I've tried a few positioning tricks to get it to work, but when I do that, it breaks the mobile-firstness of Bootstrap. When collapsed down to phone-size, I need it to snap to this:

==========================
|                        |
|  ####################  |
|  ##THIS IS AN IMAGE##  |
|  ####################  |
|                        |
|   ...And some text!    |
|                        |
==========================

So doing it as a table really isn't an option.

I think your best bet would be to use a combination of absolute and relative positioning.

Here's a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/PKVza/2/

given your html:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-6">
        <img src="~/Images/MyLogo.png" alt="Logo" />
    </div>
    <div class="bottom-align-text col-sm-6">
        <h3>Some Text</h3>
    </div>
</div>

use the following CSS:

@media (min-width: 768px ) {
  .row {
      position: relative;
  }

  .bottom-align-text {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
  }
}

EDIT - Fixed CSS and JSFiddle for mobile responsiveness and changed the ID to a class.
