The Famous Photo - Grand Teton National Park
In case you were wondering about the most photographed scene in Grand Teton National Park, I suspect this is it - a reprise in color of Ansel Adams' famous photo from the Snake River overlook. Unfortunately, I could not capture an element, possibly the most important element of Adams' composition; the dramatic "S" bend in the river drawing the viewer into the scene. In my defense, Adams took his photo from the roof of his station wagon with a tripod. The best I could do was a two foot retaining wall and of course the trees must have grown several feet in the 70-odd years since Adams preserved the view. View is to the west.
