Grand Teton National Park, August 2006
A lonely bison wanders past me in search of the herd which ran by in a previous shot of South Moulton Barn.
A simple frame of Mormon Row Barn with the Teton range in the background. After a day of overcast skies, it was good to see blue skies with the Teton peaks towering into the sky.

More of the golden Autumn landscape south of Grand Teton National Park. This series was taken near or on Mormon Row. The old barns are surrounded by golden grass and trees with the Teton Range in the background.

Mormon Row Historic District - Once a vibrant community
Mormon settlers first arrived here in the 1890s. The U.S. Post Office named the community Grovont, now known as "Mormon Row."
Farms were clustered to utilize shared labor and create a community. Families cooperated with each other on large projects, from building barns to digging ditches. Women worked communally assisting neighbors births and helping each other with chores.
Despite the harsh conditions, the homesteaders succeeded at growing crops by using irrigation techniques they developed during the 1847 settlement of the Great Basin.
There were 33 homesteads surrounding a church and a school in Grovont, Wyoming. Only six homesteads remain from the original community.
SP SD39s rolls through the Mormon Rocks area of Cajon Pass. Between the SD39s and the SD40T-2s it was hard to pick a favorite I liked them equally and this train had them both.

Thanks for your visit. Have a great week ahead.

A first for California, for me
A picturesque barn, now abandoned bears a li'l history of its own.
In this picture, I tried to capture the season's unique appeal to this beautiful scene.

Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes along the Jackson-Moran Road near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals.
The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly. It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The alluvial soil to the east of Blacktail Butte was more suitable than most locations in Jackson Hole for farming, somewhat hampered by a lack of readily available water.
It is along the base of the Teton Range--a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in North America. A north-south range, it is mostly on the Wyoming side of that state's border with Idaho, just south of Yellowstone National Park. Most of the east slope of the range is in Grand Teton National Park. Between six and nine million years ago, stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust caused movement along the Teton fault. The west block along the fault line rose to form the Teton Range, creating the youngest range of the Rocky Mountains.
Extra Eastbound Manifest near Leith Siding. There's a lot I could say about this photo. I find the Mormon Mountains very picturesque at sunrise and sunset, and the UPRR alignment lines up for photos with them in the background. It's been a brutal summer for photography. Not only is there a lot of wildfire smoke, but I've been having to work long weeks, and haven't had the energy to get out on the weekends. This weekend was my last chance to get out this summer, and the smoke had cleared out. I still had to work though. I decided to set my alarm for 330am, and if I felt like going out, I'd go bag a shot, then come home and work. Miracle of miracles, I woke up at 325, and while not feeling great, I forced myself out. There was an eastbound out of Arden, and I thought I'd bag it at Caliente. I drove to Elgin so I would be in the canyon before the sun rose and got in my face, but then had the idea to get a 2 for one; shoot it at Leith, then beat it to Caliente. Arriving at Leith, I had a few minutes for hiking, so I decided to investigate a more ambitious shot. A short hike later, I decided I liked the looks of it, and got into position. The train showed up with excellent timing, and I got this shot that I've been wanting for awhile. Back to the Jeep. Back to Vegas by 10am. 6.5 hour adventure for this one shot. Worth it. Now I need to reshoot with a longer train...
This is a recreation of a cabin used by a group of Mormons who had served with Sutter in the Army, and then were working for him here at Sutter's Mill when gold was discovered. (manual exposure came in very handy here!)

PLEASE, no invite/award icons. Thanks
I'm getting used to waking up before dawn to drive out and be ready for shots like this.
With recent thunderstorms, moments like this are fleeting, but so rewarding.
