A New Day at the Grand Tetons

One of the beautiful mornings we had while touring Grand Tetons National Park....or....as a friend of mine says "Standing in front of better things"

Chapel of the Transfiguration

It took a 4am wake up to get to this church for sunrise, but it was so worth the lack of sleep. This is the Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Tetons National Park. We first walked in around 5am and could hear bats flying around us as we stood there. I'm not really much of a bat guy, so I spent the next hour outside until daylight. I don't know where the bats go when it gets dark, but they were nice enought to leave me to my business as I got my shots off.

Snake River Overlook

I guess I get a zero for originality on this one, but it was a pretty amazing sunset anyway. It's kind of cool thinking of Ansel Adams standing on the roof of his car in this same spot....70 years ago, getting his famous Snake River shot..... using little more than a wooden box with a hole in it.

Sunrise at the Moulton Barn

A pretty amazing morning at the T.A. Moulton Barn, Grand Teton National Park. It took a 3am wakeup, and not enough coffee, to get here. And then there was a lot of waiting. But certainly worth the effort just to stand here and see the scene come together as the sun rose behind us.

Schwabacher's Landing

I have come up with a set of very detailed instructions on getting a good shot at Schwabachers Landing. 1) Remove lens cap 2) Point at anything 3) Take photo. That's the lesson for today.
