Chapel of the Transfiguration, Grand Teton National Park


Still playing catch up from the craziness of June. These shots were taken the same morning we did Mormon Row. The light was pretty contrasty by the time we got there, but with a setting like this, who the heck cares?
 
The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a tiny church with a breathtaking view of the Tetons. A large picture window frames the alter, so every service is dominated by the beauty of the mountains.
 
 
This doesn't do justice to the view...
 
 

The approach to the Chapel is guarded by a rustic bell tower.


Inside the fence is all sagebrush and yellow balsamroot.


Probably could have composed this better - the brilliance of the aspens is sharply contrasted against the dark base of the mountains.


Here's on one of the Chapel's front door hinges. Look how deeply it's been driven into the wood.

 
A detail of the bell tower.
 

 
 
And the bell itself.
