    … vapor condensed on peaks of Grand Tetons in the morning. low-level clouds on the tops of the Grand Teton mountain range in Wyoming. The frame digitally pans to the right to show the peaks in the clouds, which are riding on an orographic effect this morning. The lower half displays the rolling hills and autumn Aspens as well as evergreen conifer trees. With moose, elk, wolves and buffalo roaming this wild area, people are fewer and farther between. A road paves through the lower-right with only a stray vehicle briefly observable.

    A one second interval is used to capture a geyser venting steam vapor in the cold morning dawn. In a far meadow, other smaller geysers look like a thin fog bank. Resembling a small pine tree, a lone tree in the foreground stands two-thirds of the frame’s height. A small river runs from center to the bottom-right of the frame.
