This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge subject is “Grand.” Cheri, who posted this challenge, is asking for photos that have a “wow factor.” So, I started thinking about photos that I have that “wow” me and here is what I have come up with! Some you have seen before, but they fit this challenge!
The majestic beauty of the Grand Tetons…
The Grand Tetons from across Jackson Lake
The amazing colors of the Grand Prismatic Pool in Yellowstone…
Steam rising
One view of the Painted Desert!
Layers in the hillsides
Here is a wow factor shot of an approaching storm with a break in the clouds!

Remember the post on the Moaning Caverns? Well, looking up the stair case that we just descended took our breath away! Literally!

Let’s finish with one more grand photo! That of Yosemite Valley!

You definitely captured the best qualities of the challenge. Those are spectacular photos of some of the grandest places on earth! 🙂
Thanks Debra! It was a fun challenge!
Beautiful photographs. My father was a photographer and I showed him your shots. He liked them and said you had nice landscape composition.
Thank you Molly for sharing my photos with your father! I will be going live with a website soon!
Fantastic shots! My favourite is the first one.
The Grand Tetons are a really amazing sight! Glad you liked that shot!

All of today’s photos are loaded with that WOW factor. It’s snowing, you say. Wish I were there. It’s 80.l Degrees here but feels like 82 on the tennis court. Just another perfect day, weather wise, in Hawaii but I’d rather be where it’s snowing.
Wait for the snow photos Roy!
Great grandness & then some!
Why thank you RoSy!
The colours scintillate! 🙂
You like? Glad that you do!

Thank you Timalil!
such a grand collection of images 🙂
I am glad that you enjoyed them!
Awesome images! What’s neat is that I’ve been to all those places except for the caverns and I can say your images capture the grandness of each of those places very well!
Thank you!
