Moments from Wyoming

Not about books, but PG loves Jackson Hole, The Teton Range and Yellowstone.

From Medium:

Every day I woke up with a desire to feel the Sun. Instead, the day offered gray sky with hints of a snowstorm. The peaks of Teton were hidden, but I felt irresistibly drawn to its other glories: the purity of the wind, the promise of imminent thunder, the morning whisper of birds.

As I made my way through the curvy and snowy roads of the Tetons, the scenery reminded me of my summer in Alaska. Eminent mountains, frozen lakes, and many sightings of wild animals. Out here, I didn’t take many photos. I was content to simply be in the presence of this majestic landscape, treating those moments with the weightiness and value they deserve.

. . . .

 Imagine a scene — you’re standing among thousands of migrating elks in a snowstorm with gigantic mountains as a backdrop. Swans flutter in the distance like rising snowflakes.

The OP includes some great photos of Wyoming.

PG took the following photo a couple of years ago in Grand Teton National Park.

And this guy paused right beside the road not far outside of Jackson, Wyoming (PG stayed in his car).

  1. One of my favorite places in the world, PG. I overdosed on it a bit as a kid, but have been rediscovering it by taking my grandkids on trips through the area.
