Hey friends!

This picture was taken at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park after an incredibly wicked thunderstorm had passed overhead. The setting sun broke through some storm clouds forming some of the most incredible light rays I've ever seen!

For more of my work you can check out my Instagram, or purchase prints on my website.

Thanks for looking!

I'm not going to get pulled in to a debate about what counts as a "sea cliff". This sounds like one of those things where among the locals in Milford Sound it's an accepted truth that their Mitre Peak is the highest sea cliff in the world, but literally everyone else in the world, including lots of smart geologists, says it's the sea cliffs at molokai. You live your truth, the rest of us will live ours.

The inclination from the summit of Mitre Peak to the sea is steeper than the cliffs in Moloka'i. The Moloka'i cliffs are also a summit, they're from a mountain that falls into the sea, same as Mitre Peak. There's really no metric that says Moloka'i is a sea cliff and Mitre Peak isn't. Mitre Peak is taller, and steeper.
