Fog Over the Gros Ventre River

Fog Over the Gros Ventre River

It’s sometimes nice to have slower days when I don’t see a whole lot that I want to get a picture of. That gives me a chance to go back to some of my photos from earlier in the year that I forgot to process such as this one. This was heading back home from Kelly, Wyoming in Grand Teton National Park when all of a sudden, on the other side of the Teton Mountains, the setting sun lit up the clouds above. I happened to be near a patch of fog that was floating above the Gros Ventre River and was able to include that nicely in the shot.

Grand Teton National Park Sunrise Panorama

One of the many things about Grand Teton National Park that never gets old is seeing the sunrise on the Teton Mountains. Thousands of people drive through the park all the time and never get to witness something as incredible as seeing the first bit of light of the day slowly creep down the mountains and onto the valley floor. If you’re ever in the area, make it a point to see the sunrise. You won’t be disappointed no matter how early it is.

Grand Teton in Black and White

Grand Teton in Black and White

I’ve apparently been rediscovering my love for black and white prints again lately. With the temperatures reaching unseasonable warmth right now, it’s almost as if the off-season has already started for the residents as well as the local flora and fauna of Jackson Hole. As a result, I’ve been going back to some photos that had always caught my eye but for one reason or another, never did anything with. This was from a particularly cloudy afternoon that was beginning to break up along the Teton Mountains. The Grand Teton at this point was clearly visible while the rest of the mountains were only beginning to come back into view. Once again, this was one of those shots that was just waiting for the black and white conversion.
