In the Teton Valley are so many properties that has grazing land for horses around there wooden houses. They are usually fenced with simple natural fences, as we have seen them again and again in the national parks.
And, of course, many Americans have a flag pole in the garden. I had to capture these typical features for Idaho and the USA in a few pictures.

The Teton Valley lies to the west of the Teton Range. Our vacation home had a fantastic view across the valley with every day changing clouds on the sky.
One day we had fantastic rain clouds that hanging over the Teton Range. In the post image you could see the Housetop Mountain in the center of the mountain range.

The last weeks we stayed in Idaho and Wyoming to visit the National Parks Grand Teton and Yellowstone. My first image of the journey shows the Milky Way across Teton Valley. The first time I saw the dark and starry nights in Teton Valley the wish came to take a picture of the Milky Way. In the first hours of the night the center of the Milky Way was visible. So I prepared my camera, put it on a tripod and went outside into the garden.
The center of the Milky Way should be visible close to the horizon. So I decided to arrange the trees of the near road into my composition. At first I was angry, that during my first exposure a car drove through my image. But after review of the images it was the best image — the illuminated trees give a good contrast to the night sky.

A foto hike on the big sandbank at Westerhever: Wide Heaven — Wide Sand. Short after high tide we went out onto the sandbank near the lighthouse Westerhever Sand. The first shot was made with a dramatic perspective just at that moment when 4 Eider ducks flied away. read more or write a comment …
