In Yellowstone National Park, Minerva Terrace is quite a tourist draw. As it expands nothing stands in its way as this poor tree shows. If you ever get the chance to visit, it is well worth the effort.
What a dramatic image! Stunning! Looks like it was done with Kodachrome (anybody remember that film?). I'm guessing you underexposed to get detail in the white areas. The result is amazing!
Michael you certainly showed all the feelings and colours in this photo. The way the poor little tree is off center allowing a persons eyes to focus beyond it and allow the saturation of the yellowstone colours to show so grande, and then the steam softly caressing the sky...its a beautiful shot for sure. Thank you so much for the reminder of the time I spent there also...its quite a beauty all of its own...verena
Beautiful capture Michael. The colors of the land are unique to me as I've never seen anything like this. I also like the pools that you've shown us. Such a barren terrain but it's also beautiful in its' own way.
Love that focus on the lone tree. Sad that it is dyiing :(
Interesting elements in the photo. Like how the steam is rising to that deep blue sky. Thanks for this strange view...
