Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Oxbow Bend Aspens The Aspens turn magical by fall’s setting sun in the Grand Tetons. This morning when photographing Oxbow Bend, I turned around to see a beautiful Aspen grove. Returning just before sunset, I was rewarded again with the setting sun shining through the Aspens. For similar images, see Grand Tetons | a 7 Image Story.

Nikon D300 Salad | Oxbow Bend Snake River Mountains OxBow Bend is located along the Snake River near Great Tetons NP. It’s one of the most photographed places on earth. In this image, Mt. Moran stands majestic in the background. Several coyote packs could be heard in the distance. Also, black bear, grizzly bear, moose, elk, and wolves call this area home. Unfortunately, the wildlife did not appear except for a couple of river otters. As Mt. Moran became reflected in the Snake River and the morning shadows began to change, this composition appeared.
The Back Story To capture this image, I arrived at the the Ox Bow Bend turnoff a little before o’dark thirty. A light snow cover greeted me at the turnoff. Just after first light, I climbed down the slightly frozen river bank to river’s edge. Upon setting up my tripod behind several rocks, I waited for any wildlife that might amble by my position. The crisp, cold morning air, the light spring snow cover, and the calm, no wind quiet of this remote place made me appreciate the scene in front of my lens.

Nikon D300 Salad | Oxbow Bend Snake River Shore Line OxBow Bend is located along the Snake River near Great Tetons NP. It’s one of the most photographed places on earth. This view at Oxbow Bend, away from the mountains, creates a bit different mood. Of course, without the nice morning blue sky, this image would be flat without the cold blue color cast. The sky makes all the difference.

Landscape Portfolio | Grand Teton Flats The Grand Tetons get many clear mornings. Low lying fog along the Snake River sometimes lingers into mid morning. Fall color in Teton country provides many contrasts between the flats and the mountains before he landscape becomes blanketed in snow. For more information and images, see Grand Tetons | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story After an early morning capturing images at Oxbow Bend, I drive around the flats looking for a scene out of the old west.
