Mormon Barn and the Tetons

  • location: Grand Teton National Park, WY
  • date: August 2022

Mormon Row is a commonly photographed area in Grand Teton National Park due to the number of interesting historical structures there. The plan that day was to take some photos around sunset. However, the weather had other plans as storm clouds rolled in in the mid-afternoon. While I did not get to capture the golden glow on the buildings as planned, I was able to capture this dramatic shot of divine crepuscular rays behind the iconic T.A. Moulton Barn, with its jagged peak blending in perfectly with the Teton ridgeline. The heavenly feel perfectly befits a structure built by a people whose faith helped them endure numerous challenges as they made their way across the U.S.
