We often see calendar and post card images of the Grand Teton Range looming over the historic Moulton Barns at their feet. Most photographers prefer to shoot this scene in the early morning, when the rising sun behind them bathes the mountains and sage in golden light. I was but one out of many photographers whose lenses were trained on this subject on a bitterly cold late September morning. I photographed the scene for about a half hour. This is my favorite image, probably far more abstract than the one that most of the other photographers were making that morning. The rising sun just barely grazes the peaks of the mountains. Most of the mountains are still in dark shadow, as is the famous main barn of the 19th century Moulton community. I suggest the presence of the old red barn and its surroundings, but my story here is really the first light of dawn on these mountain peaks, not the battered beauty of the old structure at their feet.
