This area is called Jackson Hole. It is a large flat valley surrounded by mountain ranges in Western Wyoming, and just South of Yellowstone National Park. It's also a haven for huge herds of Elk that come down to Winter in this vallay. The image of fence remnants and the abandoned ranch is the one used in the classic Western movie, SHANE, starring Alan Ladd... and the out of focus mountains are the Tetons.

Doug, this marvelous image really brings back memories, first of all I remember that movie so well, it was one of my favorites, and my folks took a vacation in Jackson Hole, and stayed on a dude ranch. I remember my dad telling me of time he took off running after getting into a rocky area, that was full of snakes! He used to get up early and would visit with the cook in the kitchen. Thanks for the memories. Tigs♥ =^..^=

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

One of my favorite movies, Doug. It was when actors were actors and movies were movies. I still love the theme song.
My dad and I went to see it in a little theater in a small town. My dad and the theater are both gone but the memory remains. Thanks.

Too early for me to remember, but I thought Alan Ladd was cute. Looks like the old west for sure in your image, Doug.

Another great b/w photo and a wonderful looking scene, Doug. A nice DoF and softness in the shot. Great composition.
