An Oxbow Bend Sunrise On The Snake River

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

A favorite location for photographers and even when looking for for new and different locations, Oxbow Bend seems a "must stop" for an image. This was the only early morning where we had sun hitting the peaks. On this morning we had about a 20 minute window before the clouds blocked the sun. The center mountain in this image is Mount Moran.
