Bison in the Tetons
On my last night in the Tetons I went out into the grass beyond the Mormon Row barns to wait for what looked like a weak sunset at best. Then a herd of bison started moving my way. It ended up like being in Dances with Wolves as the bison herd moved past me.

What a nice moment Darren. A combination like this has to take you back to a simpler time. I too got lucky with the bison on Mormon Row only I was standing on top of my vehicle to shoot the famous Moulton Barn while waiting for sunrise when the herd walked right in front of the barn. Serendipity! :smile:

I like how moments like that happen still in the national parks.

A truly unique moment, Darren. Dances with Wolves is one of my favorite movies.

Backlighting on the bison backs is striking.
