Crazy cool we are in the universe getting to experience, feel, and compute sights and moments like that.

Hey friends!

This picture was taken at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park after an incredibly wicked thunderstorm had passed overhead. The setting sun broke through some storm clouds forming some of the most incredible light rays I've ever seen!

For more of my work you can check out my Instagram, or purchase prints on my website.

Thanks for looking!

Man! This takes my breath away. I can't imagine how it looks in person! We are planning a trip to Wyoming in July, I'm super stoked since I've never been.

Beautiful! The light in the sky is so dramatic! Many of my first epic adventures happened climbing the Tetons or paddling the Snake, it's neat to see both together in this superb photo.

Boy, were you ever in the right place at the right time... and you had your camera!

I was! I'm a park ranger in the Tetons so I've kind of learned when and where the light tends to be the best, and I'm never without my camera just in case!

Is there any way to get up on Lozier Hill behind you? It looks like you may find some spots to get high enough to add in a view of the dam/lake.

Yes absolutely! There’s actually a horse trail that leads up the hill to Emma Matilda Lake! It’s a gorgeous place to watch sunset from

Yeah, that's a bit west of where I'm referring. Hard to tell from Gogle Earth but around the south edge of Lozier peak looks like a spot if its not to dangerous.

The Tetons can have such magical light. What a beautiful shot! Thanks for the share.

No one questions the physics in these kinds of pictures.

The sun is 94 million miles away. Perhaps people do not understand perspective of photography.

This reminds me of seeing a post somewhere that I can't find about someone who didn't thank God rays were real.
