Grand Teton National Park, Cunningham Cabin Walls, 1965

Adams wrote the following in a letter to Minor White in 1947:

'The earth looks very good indeed; the forms of nature - once they are integrated on the magic rectangle of film - satisfy me completely...A long line of rising land is so much in itself; the hint of clear air, and the organic life of clouds - well, I guess that's for me from now on.'
