Snake River Overlook, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The classic view of The Grand Tetons from the Snake River Overlook, a viewpoint made famous by Ansel Adams in a black & white photograph bearing the same name.
If you have the inclination to duplicate Adams classic shot, bring a chainsaw since the growth of the trees now block the famous s-curve of the Snake River that was a key compositional element in his photograph.
Of course, do not bring a chainsaw, cut down trees and when handcuffed by the Park Rangers mentioned to them that some crazy photographer named Sam Antonio told you to do so.
I added in my own interpretation to this classic view by including into the composition a splash of color from the vibrant fall colors of a nearby tree. That smudge you see at the base of the Teton Mountain is haze from a controlled burn the National Park Service was conducting that week. As a result, they ruined many of my shots over the three days I was photographing in the park.
On second thought, if you make it out to Grand Teton National Park tell the parks rangers that I am still pissed off for what they did back in 2006. I may just come back and cut down a couple of trees!
