The setting sun lights the skies above the Cathedral Group (Grand Teton, Mount Owen, Teewinot Mountain, Nez Perce Peak, Middle Teton) pink as rays of sun shine into the sky from behind the Mountains in Grand Teton National Park. This is a photo which is very near and dear to my heart. I took it in honor of my late Father, whose name was Fred. My father always told me "if heaven's not like Jackson Hole, I don't want to go " So, after he'd passed away I drove 1,000 + miles specifically for this shot: the setting sun behind the Cathedral group in Jackson Hole Valley. If this was his heaven, the Cathedral group was its heart and soul. Before I left, I'd actually been sick for several weeks to the point I was worried I wouldn't be able to drive there and take the shot. However, about 8 hours before I was to leave I started feeling better, so I hopped in the car and drove. By the time I reached Jackson Hole Valley, I felt perfectly fine. The next evening, it was time to take the shot. I wanted something other than the common cliché shots to honor him. I couldn't have captured a better shot in his honor: the setting sun casting rays into the sky as color glows across it and across the Mountains. I like to think he's right there behind Grand Teton, smiling down on me. I named the photo and this view of his heaven Fred's View in his honor. This photo is for you Dad. RIP
