    I’m back

    The Tetons from Oxbow Bend

    I got back yesterday evening around 6:30 pm after a long day on the road, almost 12 hours. I drove back through Yellowstone National Park which required me to stop several times for photographs. I enjoyed this trip immensely. I camped two nights a Fremont Lake which gave me plenty of alone time except for the couple hours at the coffee shop writing my last post. I so needed that alone time. The time with Duane and Jan was also exactly what I needed. They kept me busy with things to see and do. I already miss them. I will post images from the trip over the next few days rather than one post with too many photos and words.

    My original plans did not have me drive home through the park. Nor, did I expect to drive by Oxbow Bend. Last time I was in this area was 19 years ago. As I reflect on that I realize that was too long ago.

    The Old Barn

    One of the Old Mormon Barns
    The T. A. Moulton Barn

    This is an image of the T.A. Moulton Barn just outside of Grand Teton National Park. The T.A. Moulton Barn is all that remains of the homestead built by Thomas Alma Moulton and his sons between about 1912 and 1945. It sits west of the road known as Mormon Row, in an area called Antelope Flats, between the towns of Kelly and Moose.

    I took a workshop back in the fall of 2003. One project we did was with light painting. We setup our tripods and cameras for some long exposures. When we would press our shutters on instructor would run in front of the barn with two lights and paint away. Needless to say he was pretty winded by the time we had taken a dozen or so images.
