Canon 5D, 24-105 f/4 @47mm, 1/400 sec., f/8, ISO: 100.

Captured 7/16/2008.

My first (and only) trip to Yellowstone NP. My only disappointment was that I never saw wolves and only saw a grizzly leaving an Elk carcass from about 400 yards away. That said, I enjoyed the trip no matter it's few (in my mind) shortcomings.

Had I cropped (in camera) the viewing platforms and people in this shot (left mid-ground) I would have posted it in the landscape gallery. I like the subject.

Here's a link to a larger version:

I hope I'm allowed to post links in these galleries .. if not I'll certainly refrain from doing so again. Please let me know.

Mike

Very nice presentation of the stark dead tree and the thermal formation that killed it. The background human elements are small enough that I might not have noticed them at first. Thanks for sharing.

It took me quite a while to find your humans, Mike! They are so tiny in the image as posted, and only appear when I follow the link for the larger view. A link like this is fine, and a good way for us to be able to see the finer detail.

I agree with Ed, the devastation of the thermal springs is well documented in your fine image!

Lovely image !! Like the mood and feel, Yellowstone is unique and special !!! btw don't feel bad not finding wolfs, have been many times and don't have a decent image of one,. All have been at a distance with my closest encounter been with the Molle Pack.

A wonderful stark scene- I would not have seen the people either, but that's OK. Very nice showing with the dead tree. I like the mists especially in this picture.
