A photo of the Grand Tetons?

On my way to Montana this (almost) past Summer, I stopped to take a picture of the Grand Tetons, which were East of me as I took Hwy191 from I-15 to West Yellowstone. As always, the Tetons (can I say that?) looked far away, which they are, so I decided to "compose" a picture, including the railroad sign and tracks, and an old piece of farm equipment. Maybe I'll do some editing and see if I can make the distant mountains more distinct. But this is what I have right now. I'll provide a Horse Jr. update later in the day. He made me laugh this morning.

I like having access to isolation. But I'm not sure if I could handle it all year long.

@TheHorse Maybe, I think I would like to try it for a year and see how it goes.

@Bensen32 I may try that at some point. But I learned in Montana (in spite of my enjoyment at being "off the grid") that it would be hard for me to do it for a while year.

They're very faint, but I can make them out in the distance.

I haven't tried to "enhance" them yet.

I am happy too. I talked to them again later this afternoon. I'll be glad when they reach their destination.

Thank you, Linda. He is such a thoughtful kid. He called at 8 AM today but didn't leave a message. Later he told me that he knew that if he left a message, I'd hear his voice and it would wake me up early. So he called again at 10 AM or so and we talked.

@TheHorse How nice that he called. He must be a really special young man.

@CarolDM I'm confident that they will. And Horse Jr. is a pretty good telephone conversationalist for an almost-12-year-old.

Yes! I love visiting places where technology has changed and artifacts of the old days remain. I don't know that I could live right there, though.

@jvicentevalera Alas, I was around decades ago. That piece of farm equipment reminds me of something we'd use to build tall hay stacks "back in the day."

Not until I buy a camera with a telephoto lens. But I like the way the picture is "composed."

He called me from the motel they're at in New Mexico last night at 2 AM and left a cute message. Needless to say, I didn't get it until this morning.

I can see the mountains in the distance, they are very far.
