Description
This majestic landscape features rugged mountains in Grand Teton National Park towering above the prairie in a quintessential American West landscape, but it is uniquely framed by a barbed wire fence. The Grand Tetons are a beautiful symbol of the magnificent scenery in the American West. In an ironic twist, the barbed wire fence appears to be trying to "keep all the nature in."
Located in Wyoming, U.S.A., Grand Teton National Park is home to some of the most photogenic mountain scenery in the American West. Rising 13,770 feet, Grand Teton mountain is especially stunning due to the abrupt rise from the prairie grasslands.

Love Wyoming and this piece. My son skis those mountain tops Love the craggy Tetons. It is sad that so much of our country has fences such as this up but I supposed they did indeed Keep Nature In. :)

Beautiful view, sadly the human presence resulted in barbed wire fence, but maybe this is the last chance to save the view? v

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Elena, I appreciate it! I particularly like how you offered two contrasting thoughts. :-)

This is beautiful. v/f I see this as those mountains in the background are so eternal and we are just a speck in time. Man may put up fences, and they may come down some day, and those mountains will still be there as manmade landscape changes. SE

Man looking to control nature? I'm with Bill - like nature to be natural ... but I do like to see our time on this earth recorded, hopefully to learn from our exploits. Still love the mountains here though! V

Nice image, don't know if the fence is to keep nature in or humans out. Either way I think humans are part of nature and should be able to run free with some exceptions. V

beautiful image, the barbed wire reminds of WDC and the pols that have never sat in a saddle, telling us how to live our lives.
