Yellowstone National Park

Grand Prismatic Sprint

The vivid colors in the spring are a result pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water. I used a circular polarizer to further intensify the colors seen here.

Chromatic Pool

Chromatic Pool is a large, very colorful hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, near Old Faithful. This image is a HDR to get the trees and the sky and the foreground exposed correctly.

Castle Geyser

Castle Geyser is a cone geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. It is noted for the particularly large sinter deposits, which form its cone. These deposits have been likened in appearance to a castle.

Fountain Pot Geyser

The Fountain Paint Pots are a group of mud pots located between the Midway and Lower Geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park. Here the approaching storm adds a sense of drama to the image.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the first large canyon on the Yellowstone River downstream from Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park. The colors in the canyon are also a result of hydrothermal alteration. Here a shaft of sunlight illuminated the falls while the rest of the canyon was left in shadow.

Undine Falls

The falls is approximately 60 feet in height, descending in three plunges.

Schwabacher Landing

Schwabacher Landing at dusk. The sunset turned out to be a dud, and got bitten by mosquitos here.

Hibernation Station Cabin

Hibernation Station Cabins at West Yellowstone. The carvings on the roof with the fabulous sky caught my attention.
