Fog, Horses and the Tetons

Figure 1. Early Morning Fog in Grand Teton National Park.

It is a common sight to see fog, more or less, in Grand Teton National Park in the early morning. The lakes at the foothill of the Teton Range may be an important source to contribute the moisture. The fog adds poetry to the already majestic mountains, but it starts to disappear when sun comes up. So you will need to get up early for this.

On this morning, I started my "patrol" at dawn while my friend still slept in the tent at the Colter Bay Campground. This is one of the foggy morning I've experienced in the park. In addition to the impressive fog belt, the horses on the meadow add some more romance for being in the West. This is a quick shot, but it works well.

There are some pictures that I loved at that moment, but it fades as time goes by. Although I can't remember all details on that day, this image is still in my heart since the moment I clicked it.
