Teton mountains with a couple of horses and riders in the foreground.
I replaced a boring sky in the background with a sky image I took in 2016.
Please feel free to be honest with your critiques and opinions.
I'm pretty sure I can take it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Big clouds made photographing from Snake River Outlook impossible but I got lucky at Teton Point Turnout. There are over a hundred sites worth seeing there and Jackson Hole is a must go back. Driving US-191 is breathtaking. twitter.com/ExlibrisETC/status/942447053770145792
Earlier this month I spent a few days down in the Tetons looking for critters. Here I found some pronghorns, with a nice background. October, 2020.
Was up early to catch an amazing sunrise at Schwabacher Landing in Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.
I was back at my car to pack up for the morning and saw the quality of the light on the peaks had a wonderful hue. Rather than shoot another wide angle picture, I grabbed the 100-400mm and shot it handheld. The peaks from left to right are Middle Teton, Grand Teton, Mount Owen and Teewinot.

It seemed only fair to send Aaron copies of the raw files since he spotted the scene but didn't have the right set up handy to capture it.] Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA, July 2017

This man was standing in a field quietly painting the Grand Teton Range. I wanted to capture him as his stillness when taking in the scene and economy of movement when painting captivated me. He was so precise in all he did. I really like how he blends into the scene so wonderfully ;0)

The Tetons are located in Wyoming, USA. The Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929. The Park includes 40 miles of the Teton Range and is near Yellowstone National Park.

I drove into the park from Yellowstone to the north. The first glimpse I got of the actual mountain range is from the other side of Jackson Lake at the Visitor's Center in Colter Bay Village.
As you continue south along Grand Teton Park Road, the range gets closer and closer, but still the individual peaks look so far away when getting out of the car to take photos.
This photo was taken near the Jenny Lake Overlook. I didn't get to the lake itself, because the parking lot was already crowded but I did get amazing shots of the peaks from the roadside turnouts.
Unlike a lot of mountain ranges I've seen, the Tetons just seem to jut upward from the flat lands around them (which they do, from the Grand Teton Fault) a rather jarring and beautiful juxtaposition of nature.
A visit to Yellowstone would be remiss without at least a day spent driving through Grand Teton National Park.

"The first Anglo-American to see the saw-edged Teton peaks is believed to be John Colter. After traveling with Lewis and Clark to the Pacific, Colter left the expedition during its return trip down the Missouri in 1807 to join two fur trappers headed back into the wilderness. He spent the next three years wandering through the northern Rocky Mountains, eventually finding his way into the valley at the base of the Tetons, which would later be called Jackson Hole.
Other adventurers followed in Colterās footsteps, including the French-Canadian trappers who gave the mountain range the bawdy name of āGrand Tetons,ā meaning ābig breastsā in French. For decades trappers, outlaws, traders, and Indians passed through Jackson Hole, but it was not until 1887 that settlers established the first permanent habitation."
