A Teton Sunrise

Uploaded: March 10, 2008 03:52:45

Description

Along Mormon's Row, Grand Tetons National Park, from May 2006. My friend and I had the whole place to ourselves...it's great to travel when the public schools are still in session. No tourists!

Must be a nice time to go, not just to avoid tourists, but to get those colors. The grass is so green, and the snow on the mountains makes this look so great, along with the sun shining on the barn. I was there around noon, a day in July last year. What a difference! #5620030

A beautiful photo. I am curious about the mountain peaks versus the sky with the clouds? They look like they have been changed? Or did you add the clouds and sky separately? The grass in the foreground is very green with the background being a different. How did you manage to change all these things?Nadine #5722901

Sharon King March 31, 2008
Beautiful POTD!!! #5722944

Ken Smith March 31, 2008
