Barns and mountains

[Chris Bennett]

I returned from a trip to the US last week and I am still going through the photos we took. We went on an epic 3,400 mile drive through seven states, beginning in San Francisco, out to Yellowstone through Nevada and Utah, then heading back through Idaho and Oregon. Many of the focal points were places we have previously visited and an early highlight was the Grand Teton mountains in Wyoming.

The Tetons are interesting because they rise straight out of the valley floor with no foothills. They look great with a deserted barn in the foreground!

Couldn't decide which image I liked the most, so I thought you ought to see both of them.

And I'm pleased you couldn't choose as we get to see two fine shots. I can see why you struggled to choose though - I do like the way the flare etc works with the image in the first though.

Looking forward to more!

Great stuff, Chris. I'd love to be there. The mountains look amazing.

I read about these mountains years ago and instantly knew I had to go there to see them for myself. Now, I would jump at the chance to visit them again for a third time.

Two great shots but that first one is the topper for me, Chris. The flare is icing on the cake. (My daughter and son-in-law were up that way a week or two ago as well. Did you happen to notice a young couple with an adorably cute golden doodle?)

Do you know, I think we just might have done. Having said that, I will have to ask my wife to confirm that - my memory is dreadful.

Here's another of the Tetons that I like. Not a barn in sight though!

Wow! Beautiful pictures of a beautiful place. All great, but the first one really does it for me.
