Mist Rising

One of my new Fine Art Photographs is entitled Mist Rising from Snake River.

On a cool October morning in 2021, I set out from my basecamp at predawn for a 45 minutes drive to Oxbow Bend, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The temperature was near freezing and the path down to the Snake River was treacherous in the dark. As soon as I arrived at the bank of the river, I was taken aback by the beauty of Mount Moran across the river to the west. During the "blue hour" I immediately started taking pictures of this majestic site from many angles. Time flew by. Then I looked around toward the east and it was then that I saw, as sunrise approached, the beautiful image of the rising mist from the calm silky waters reaching up to the beautiful colors of the tree-lined riverbank. It had a mysterious, yet ethereal feel that seemed almost magical.
