LANDSCAPE/SEASCAPE CONTEST WEEK #017
This is my entry for @axeman's Landscape/Seacape contest, week 17. Please check out this post to learn all the details.
Nikon D750, 1/500s f/16.0 ISO1600 38mm
A few miles outside Jackson, Wyoming I captured this shot of the Grand Tetons with the Snake River crossing in the foreground. Please click for a full-screen view, thank you.
It was late in the season and the roads in Yellowstone were already closed. I wanted to hang around for a couple of days but I had a serious concussion and I was very sick. I really should have seen a doctor but I don't think I had proper travel insurance and so the following morning I started the drive back home to Canada. This is an area that I really want to return to some time in the near future. Yellowstone is to the north, the Tetons to the west and the broad river valley you see here is known as Jackson Hole.
Thank you @pixresteemer!
Nice view

Thanks very much, @esteemapp
Howdy sir Keith! oh that was the time your head was hurt but you kept on truckin. That is a super cool picture. At first glance the sides of the river look like a man made canal with the perfectly smooth sides, looks like concrete. You want to go back in the near future? Like this summer?
I don't know for sure if it will happen, but maybe late May or early June. I still have to get my passport renewed, I keep forgetting about that.
Can't you just sneak across somewhere? lol. Are you guys coming down on a vacation?
I was thinking of a road trip, something like this... Canadian Rockies, Banff, Calgary, Glacier Nat'l Park, Yellowstone, then back to the coast - NorCal, Oregon coast etc. Probably take a few pictures along the way. Something like this, have to figure out the exact route. Do it early in the summer before the fires burn the whole place up! Won't catch me travelling in August again.
Oh wow sir Keith...lol.. probably take a few pictures along the way! lol..yeah that looks like a tremendous route there. How long will that take? And you guys will call that your vacation for the year?
That's probably seven to ten days driving depending on how slow you go, and I'd like to go slow. Call it two weeks for the full trip so we can stop a couple days here and there. Vacation? We're on vacation year-round! LOL! I'm thinking about a short trip to Tofino soon. That's here on the Island. Take about four or five days, just so we can get out of the house for a while.
well shiver me timbers sir Keith, what is Tofino? and I thought Victoria was a coastal town, not an island! Shoot, do I know ANYTHING? lol.
It is such an incredible place. I hope you do get to visit again! That is a beautiful photo. I can't believe that you were up to taking any pictures on that trip!
Thank you! This was taken from a rest stop - I wasn't up to doing any exploring. I had already come through the Bighorn mountains that day and I was exhausted.
I'll bet you were. Did you go into Jackson for the night? There aren't very many places other than Jackson to spend the night in that area.
Yes, got a very nice room at a motel in Jackson. I remember being very sick and then in the morning we headed north through Idaho and into Montana, planning to cross the border back to Alberta but there was a blizzard just across the border so we stopped in Helena.
So many things to see and do and you couldn't enjoy any of it. Yes you definitely need to go back.
Such splendid scenery Keith. What a shame you weren't feeling the best when you were there last. There is not a house or a man made structure in sight.......Heavenly.
