Thursday's Task - 12/2/2021

[Douglas Sherman]

Today's task is to share one of your favorite images from a national park and tell us why you like it.

Mine is from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. It was my best seller when I was in Tom Narwid's Landscape Gallery in Jerome. What I like most about this image is the beautiful sunrise coupled with the repetition of shapes of the mountains and the lupines in the foreground.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Another Grand Teton Image. I like this one for the dramatic sky and the cleaner foreground, which is no longer available at this place.

Tough to pick just one but I am going to go with an image of Carter Falls along Paradise Creek in Mt. Rainier National Park. I like the symmetry of the view and the light I got from an overcast day hiking along the Wonderland Trail.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Wow, quite a starter image Douglas. I can see why it was a best seller.

This is really nice, Alan. I always wanted to hike the Wonderland Trail but never got around to it.

Just seeing this image is exhilarating, Jim. I envy all of the wonderful experiences you have had as a result of your mountain climbing.

Something from Yosemite. Just the best light I've had from Glacier Point.

Desert View Watchtower, South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. I appreciated the winding Colorado in the background bordered by the tree and Watchtower in the middle and foreground, March 2016.

Awesome Ben! I was thinking after your post that we would all do Grand Teton images.

Mt Rainier NP. Taken a looong time ago with my first DSLR - a Canon 10D. I was there for sunset and ran into a fog/low cloud where the visibility was in the 25ft range. Waited a while in the hope for things to clear. It was well past sunset and I was about to pack it and leave when things cleared briefly for maybe about 5mins. Just had enough time to setup to take a couple of shots.

Love this "sky fire"
Kyle, it's good thing I didn't post my shot of this (same day I think!)

Yep - I remember I walked passed you that day without realizing it!

Easy to spot me. Vietnam vet cap & a white beard & probably shooting film

Beautiful image and a good post idea.

This image is mesmerizing—I would have forgotten I had a camera with me.

Perfect image from perfect timing.
