Winter in the Tetons

Winter photography: Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Winter in the Grand Tetons is not just cold; it is one of the most pristine, quiet, and spiritual times to enjoy the rugged landscape. The crowds of summer are a mere memory. The mountains stand taller; the lakes are frozen over. Storms move in sudden and vacate just the same. The setting inspires intimate landscape photography–the intimate kind that only a Wyoming winter storm can create.

During the stormy moments, we lack visibility to the future. But even when times are good, do we really see everything in our path? We see enough.

After every storm, there are moments of clarity and beauty like a burst of setting sun on the mountain peaks that we glean from our traumas.

Close enough, but still far away. Depending on how you view this, you see mountains, or you see the forest. Or maybe you see both.

After the storm, there is a time of settling in, of calm. Let your mind drift to all the things that bring you peace.

Does beauty require perfection? All that you are is perfect already. Battle scars have stories, and stories hold our interest.
