Photo of the Week - Mountain Homestead



Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

While visiting the famous Mormon Row of historical structures one morning, I ventured into the Antelope Flats area to scout out composition possibilities. It was slow going, dodging thick and tall sagebrush with my unsteady feet. But I was rewarded with a breathtaking view of the old Thomas Murphy homestead and barn, with Mount Moran peeking through clouds in the backdrop.

I whispered a silent prayer of gratitude to see this glorious sight. And I knew that I wanted to share it with you as well. (As always, remember to click on the image to see it bigger.)

  7. Donna, this is certainly going to be one of my favorites - splendid job and worth the struggle
    through the sagebrush!

    The Tetons are some of my favorite peaks - I love to go there.
    Nothing like this on my recent trip home - but the countryside was beautiful dressed for early Summer.
    Take care dear - Mary

  9. A glorious sight indeed!! The imposing mountain partly hidden behind the clouds...and the unimposing homestead in its shadow...such a juxtaposition of images and thoughts. What a sight you've captured!

  13. Donna, I was very hesitant to put my email address in my earlier comment as I don't normally do that. Since I see that you approve comments before publishing, I would be more than happy if you wouldn't publish it.
