I’ve had the
great fortune to experience a few of the beautiful
mountain regions on our planet. I’ve toured
and skied in the Alps, I’ve traveled through, hiked and
skied all over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana and Canada and still find myself overwhelmed
with the grandeur of the Tetons.
Aspens
are abundant in Teton National Park, but none are placed
more perfectly than in the Oxbow Bend area in front of
Mount Moran. The
location is a favorite among photographers - especially
in fall. They’ll
stand elbow to elbow along the banks of Oxbow Bend
waiting for that first morning light to dance across the
valley. To
me the ultimate vantage point is where more of the
valley can be viewed and still get a glimpse of the tip
of the Grand.
In
2009 I had my first personal sighting of
wolves in Teton National Park;
there were two black and a one gray
moving north through the sagebrush of
Antelope Flats. I
felt wolves would make a great addition to
my composition with one of them howling
along with two bull elk in the
valley below bugling. I
call this piece Morning
Reveille.
