Description
This majestic landscape features rugged mountains in Grand Teton National Park towering above the prairie in a quintessential American West landscape. But unexpectedly, in the foreground of this grand vista, is an old, wooden outhouse sans door. This image with its combination of magnificent scenery and an outhouse pleads for a comical caption.
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. This image was taken in a region known as Mormon Row Historic District. Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, first arrived in this region in the 1890s and established the community known as "Mormon's Row." The homesteaders chose the area for the fertile soil and shelter from wind. They established 27 homesteads. Now a popular spot for photography, the area features two picturesque barns, but here also, is this lone outhouse. In a region where harsh conditions persist, this outhouse stands as testimony to the hardy spirit of the early settlers.
