Teton Alpenglow

Brilliant sunset alpenglow light on Mount Owen, 12,928 feet, and the Grand Teton, 13,770 feet, as seen from Cascade Creek to the northwest - July. The weather the entire day was overcast and drizzling, but I set up my camera anyways before sunset time. I thought I started seeing hints of a warmer reddish light on the peak but friend thought I was crazy... but a few minutes later the peaks lit up with some of the most amazing light I've witnessed.

I wonder...

...how high on the list of best photos ever on SP this one will go?
Probably right into the top 10 and it deserves a place there.
Very nice.

That is one...

magnificent photo. Thanks a bunch for posting. I'm not sure its possible to make the Tetons any more of a 'must visit' place but if it this picture has done it.

What a beautiful picture. This is the place I've called home for the last 2 summers; your photo brings back some amazing memories. Excellent work at capturing the mountains' beauty. How I miss the Tetons!
