Not real sure what's going on here. I happened upon the sight above on the shores of Lake Jackson in Grand Teton National Park and still haven't quite figured out what to make of it. Are they cairns, meant to signify something? Did I just miss a rock stacking competition?
This second photo is from the Tetons as well. I'd be tempted to take up rock climbing just to go exploring up in the mountains there more...then I remember that I hate the cold. The Tetons are interesting, they're the only mountain range that I've been to that doesn't have a bunch of foothills in front cluttering up your shot. It's just flat land, more flat land, Jackson Lake, oh hey, mountains!
Speaking of Jackson Lake, if you want to get some nice shots with mountains and reflections, it's a great place for that. Just try not to go when the rest of the west is on fire (good luck with that). Tends to get a bit hazy around there and that's just no fun.
This day has been all over the place. Isn't that every Monday though? I've worked on a little bit of everything, not got anything completely finished. I've been trying to sort out the rules for the Sony World Photography Awards, there's restrictions on what photos are eligible but the competition is open to everyone and free! Plus there's a decent chunk of change for prize money, along with gear.
These last two photos are from Thunder Over Louisville, an annual airshow to go along with the Kentucky Derby. Watching order come out of seeming chaos was rather neat to see and shoot, I'm hoping that's how this Monday turns out. So how's Monday treating you?
That first picture reminds me of my lad in the yard, he stacks stones and then tries to knock them down with a smaller rock. Maybe they couldn't find a suitable rock to throw... Or maybe they got tired.. or maybe after stacking the first lot they said fuck it and turned cannibal and the rest are graves.
Who knows, maybe I read too much into that first photo.
Otherwise the mountain looks awesome, here we got pesky hills in the way most of the time. So you have to climb said hill to get a picture like that.
As always, nice shot.
I recall the difficulty in finding a proper skipping stone, I imagine proper throwing rocks are equally scarce. Anything is possible I suppose...
Those pesky hills surround most of the mountains I've seen, I was quite glad for the photo opportunity these provided.
Thanks!
Either that, or there is something really, really important in that lake…
We found NESSIE!!!
