“Frontier Life”
One of my favorite destinations in Grand Tetons is to take a trip into Jackson Hole’s past at Mormon Row, a historic homesteading site in Grand Tetons National Park where original cabins, barns and other structures still stand watch at the base of the Tetons, conjuring up visions of early life on the frontier poised against the perfect backdrop of the Grand Tetons.

"Serpentine Dune The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distants.

The silence, stillness, unending sense of curves and the feeling of nothingness out in the distant horizon are the elements that leave the biggest impression when hiking the big dunes. You don’t realize just how big the dunes are until you trek out beyond the foot prints and tracks that are left behind by day hikers. When you get into the dunes the silence is meditative and you begin to see in sweeping forms and swirling mountains of sand. I was struck by the lines before me in a serpentine form and I decided to make this my final destination as going forward would have tracked the dunes and marred the simplicity of the landscape. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com

"Star Gaze" Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Arizon A masterpiece of a lonely rock waiting for the stars to come out at sunset

Via Flickr:
Star Gazer” The Vermillion Cliffs are one of my favorite places in the world. It is a land of wonders and geological oddities coupled with the high Colorado plateaus. With a stunning clarity of air and light, this area offers absolutely wondrous sunsets, sunrises, and landscape possibilities. Rare Spring storms brought clouds to the Paria Plateau giving the sunset a sense of magic and drama. I had pre-visualized this image and when I had seen the storms clearing I drove three and a half hours straight to the plateau, through the treacherous sand, just to get to this area. After three days of camping in the remote wilderness with the glory of nature open to me, I was able to create this masterpiece of a lonely rock waiting for the stars to come out at sunset.
