Brynn Alise Landscape Editions

Living in the shadow of the Tetons comes with unpredictable weather. The force of nature appears in all seasons, but the transition times can be the most unpredictable. I captured this image after a violent wind and snow storm blew through the area. The snow was mostly on the mountains and provided a stunning look at the winter to come. What snow fell on the ground melted that morning. The clouds were so fast-moving and provided a unique landscape every few seconds as they drifted in front of the Tetons. The temperature the day before was in the 60s and sunny, and when I photographed this outbuilding on the Moulton homestead late the next morning, it was 28 degrees, windy and raining. 

Living in the shadow of these majestic mountains means accepting unpredictable weather and harsh temperatures. The force of nature continues year after year, and those who wish to live among these giant peaks have to accept that it is part of the beauty that comes with being there.

Sometimes a photograph looks more like a painting with the light, colors, and shadows in the image. One of my favorite things about photography is creating images that have more of a "painting" feel to them. I love to do this with abstract and macro images, and sometimes an entire scene can be captured this way. I have taken so many photos over the years at this lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, but on this night, the image had such a surreal and dreamlike feeling - I felt like I was sitting in front of a painting at a museum. I was so lost in this sunset as the world faded around me and I just sat in awe as watched the colors set over the calmest conditions I have ever seen here.

The third piece in my barn edition series, titled "Thaw," pays homage to spring and what we often refer to as "mud season" in the mountains. Autumn is stunning with its colors of gold surrounding the Moulton Barns in Grand Teton National Park. Winter brings with it a quiet calm and beauty and snow blankets the ground - soft winter sunsets compliment the scene so well. Out of the four seasons, spring is most challenging to capture with unique beauty as the flowers haven't bloomed yet and the snow is still melting with lots of rain. I decided to share it as it often is - somewhat brown, covered in mud and puddles from melted snow and fresh rain. All of this in necessary for the beauty of summer to bloom...and what will be the next image in my series. My barn editions for autumn and winter have been of one of the two famous barns here on Mormon Row in the Tetons. Spring and Summer will be scenes from the second well-known barn. Both barns were part of the original Moulton brothers' homestead. "Thaw" is gifted to collectors of the first two images in this series, "Belonging" and "Commitment". Summer is coming...

BEHOLDINGEYE

The most apocalyptic sunrise I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.  This truly was on of my "Everyday Miracles" as shortly after this epic burn, the day became completely gray and overcast.  If you hadn"t been looking, you would have missed this truly transcendent event.
