Escaping the Crowd - a photo on Flickriver

Escaping the Crowd

            I spent two mornings trying to capture sunrise here at Moulton Barn, one of the most iconic images of the Grand Tetons.  On the first day thick clouds along the horizon to the east prevented 'Golden Hour' from occurring.

On both days, I was joined by small groups of photographers on tours, who invariably set up their tripods to take the image from the vantage directly in front of the barn (to the right of this image). I'm not sure why that vantage appears preferred by the tour operators, perhaps it's because there are no trees in the background from that angle.  I chose this because I could capture the bulk of the range in the background, and the high grass in the foreground.

Moulton Barn is on some of the last property sold to the National Park Service for inclusion in the Grand Teton National Park.  Located along Mormon Row, a line of homesteads dating from the early 20th century.  Whereas most homesteads in the region are isolated, the Mormon settlers tended to build in clusters, hence the name.  

When exploring the Grand Teton National Park, budget time for a sunrise here, but wear appropriate attire, since the open plains allow for strong breezes and cooler temps (even on June 12th, the sunrise temperatures were merely a degree or two above freezing).
