A Grand Sunset

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 11, 20165,700 views8 comments

A view from the Jackson Lake Lodge. It was areal joy to see these peaks emerge from the clouds this evening. They had been shrouded in clouds all day (we were even snowed on today when we went over the Teton Pass. Pretty scary with a 10% grade). The Grand Teton 13,775 ft above sea level still remained elusive though tonight.

Really beautiful, Eva. This was my home for 30 years. Every image I see from here brings a flood of memories. Very well done.

Yes, This really is beautiful. It is one of those scenes that truly makes me wish I was there because it looks so real and inviting. Wonderful detail in this. Nice work, Eva!

My son lives and works in Jackson Hole. Yep Teton Pass can be interesting! Climed the three Tetons a couple of times, weather is dynamic, impressive and beautiful if you aren't in it.

In in this case your patience paid off. This vista can also be interpreted with a longer lens an panorama technique, best in a really big print!

cheers! Tom

Very nice, Eva. Processing looks very natural. I like the subdued green tones coming through in the foreground.

It is so refreshing to see a natural looking landscape photo for a change. In these days of hyper-realistic digital creations this one really stands out. The beauty of the location has been captured very nicely in this composition that allows me to take in the scene at my own pace.

Regards,

Glad to see that you've made it to the Tetons & Yellowstone, Eva. Yes, the view from the deck at Jackson Lake Lodge is wonderful and you've done a fine job of catching the subtle beauty, with nice hints of color in the clouds and scattered light on the high peaks. I have been snowed on walking down to Yellowstone's lower falls in July....the dynamic weather is part of the area.

We should all be so lucky as to have a view like this from our room, Eva. What a grand sight to wake or retire to. Nicely done.
