Color photo. Mount Moran, in Grand Teton National Park, rising up dramatically from a line of dark trees. There is a thin strip of water in front of the trees and then, leading down to the bottom of the frame, a field of orange and golden shrubs. At the very bottom of the photo is a cluster of short green trees.

More photos from the afternoon of day one at Grand Teton National Park in September of 2023.

Mount Moran gets some more love, as it should, and Grand Teton itself makes an appearance, along with the rest of the Cathedral Group, and Cascade Canon in black & white.

And finally a shot I got because I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the sliver of moon rising over the range behind me.

This was also the day I visited the overlook where Ansel Adams took his famous photograph “The Tetons and the Snake River“.  You can see my post about that, and the photo I took, in this earlier post.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3

Color photo. The sheer faces of the Grand Tetons rise majestically above a green forested foothill. A small log cabin and wooden fence are at the edge of the forest, in front of a sea of golden grass at the bottom of the photo.
Black and white photo. Cascade Canyon, in Grand Teton National Park. The craggy peaks of the Cathedral Group are on the left, and the ridge along the canyon marches away from the viewer into the misty distance. In the foreground is a line of dark pines and a grassy slope. The sky is full of fluffy clouds, just covering the sun at the top of the frame, from which rays project onto the Cathedral Group.
Color photo. The black silhouette of a jagged mountain range crosses the bottom of the photo. Above, the sky is a deep orange that fades to purple at the top of the frame. In the middle of the photo is the slender crescent of a waxing moon.
