My most memorable image is this picture of the cross in the Grand Teton Mountains. I went on a summer trip 3 years ago called Teens Westward Bound. We traveled on a bus for 23 days across the country and back. It was the trip of a life time. The stopped at all the tourist attractions across the country, including the Grand Cannon, New Orleans, Mount Rushmore, the Alamo and many more. Here in this image is the alter in a church that we named the TWB church. All there is is a glass window behind the alter. The visual rhetoric shows that there is nothing more beautiful than nature. You could not put an stain glass behind the alter that would be as moving as the natural beauty as the mountains. The cross is the first thing that you see and is the most important symbol in this image. It shows the Lord's grace and beauty.

That image is so simple, yet so powerful. Just looking at it you get a sense of appreciation for the world and a feeling of tranquility. You can't help but feel complete gratefulness and awe for what we have been given. It's these kinds of pictures that can make you forget about the hectic rush of daily life, and see what's really important. The trip you talked about sounds so amazing! One day I hope I get an opportunity like that because it seems life changing.
