This is an abstract image taken at the edge of a thermal spring in the West Thumb geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. While the image appears to not contain any living thing, the colors themselves are in fact a product of the microscopic organisms called Thermophiles which thrive at extremely high temperatures. When visiting Yellowstone, you will see different veins of colors surrounding the fumaroles, geysers and thermal pools. The various colors in these mats are different types of Thermophiles which thrive at specific temperatures or have preferences for alkaline, acidic, or sulphiric enviroments. The enviroment determines the type of Thermophile that lives there and this diversity creates the colors you see. The color in this image is exactly as it was taken by my camera. It is not a macro image. At the top right, the turquoise color is the very edge of the thermal pool, the white border is mineral deposits and the brown and yellow and orange colors are the Thermophile living in a mat surrounding the pool. / This image has sold as a laminated print and a matted print 3 times through RedBubble. /
The clouds stroke the peaks ot the Teton Mountains with marvelous color on a cold autumn morning in October. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Nikon, D300, 18mm f2.8 @ f18 2 second exposure.
Taken at Mammoth Hot Springs (Yellowstone Nat’l Park, WY) on a cold September morning. The sun was beginning to break through the fog, but the boardwalk still led through an eerie scene. Probably my favorite as I like the mystery. Canon Elan II / Velvia film.
I sit here and look out over this world. Disturbed I am by what I see. I had a dream once. A dream where all creatures got along, where respect and honor was strong. Where helping the weaker and less fortunate was not a favor but an Honor. Where one could speak his language with no fear of ridicule. Where one did not have to put on a mask or costume to fit in.I sit here and feel I am so far away and drifitng each day. There is anger in me that I have tried to keep in but everyday when I come up here and look out there it is rekindled. I see the ones searching and wanting to let go but out of fear they stay chained in their own prison. Not fear of failure, but out of fear of what the mass may think of them. I see the ones that want to fight but are not willing to join the fight because if the battle is lost, what will happen to them then. Time is being wasted like it will always be there, but it is slowly going by. Soon the gift of time will be the burden of wasted years. I may come back up here again, but right now I really do not want to. I think my anger is calling for me to take flight and keep searching for them, I feel so far away.
The Teton Mountains are reflected into the beaver ponds at Schwabachers Landing on the Snake River. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming / Nikon D300, 46mm, 1/25 sec. @ f18, ISO 200 / Circ Pol.
Taken from the Snake River overlook in Grand Teton National Park, Wy. The tallest peak, The Grand Teton, was stuck in the clouds for most of the day. It only peaked through for a minute right as the sun was setting behind it. / ........ / All images are © Nolan Nitschke. You may not use this image in any way without written consent from artist.

This place…secluded…alone…in the desolate prairies of Wyoming. Somebody’s dream….their first home….raising kids and trying to make it off of the land. And now the dreams are faded…..people moved away. Too hard to make it out here….but still beautiful, even when abandoned. / *Orton effect by Don Miguel
Mt. Moran from Oxbow Bend on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
My heart and soul are literally in the West…. and so hopefully… with a little luck… I will find myself living back out there by summer’s end as I sure find myself completely at home and at peace there…. I was driving along in Wyoming this past summer and this lake, the stormy sky and wonderful reflections sure captured my attention… It was so calm and so quiet and I had the whole place to myself… heavenly comes to mind… this is Sodergreen Lake found on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming….
Not really, elevation is actually 13,770. The Grand Teton. Taken 11-20-08 I am so fortunate to live here…........... :0) The Byrds – Eight Miles High – listen here

During a trip to Yellowstone we made the drive through Beartooth Pass. We got caught in a blizzard at the top of the pass. The snowstorm resulted in a few nice images though. This is one of them. Following this road leads you to a junction where you can head east toward Cody, WY or into the NE entrance of Yellowstone. Beartooth Pass has been featured in the following groups: COUNTRY ROADS / Around the World, Landscape Photography Canon EOS 20D / SIGMA 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM / 3-exposure HDR
Went up to Lusk, WY the other weekend to visit my dad’s Aunt. / One day we decided to drive up to Devil’s Tower and got told about this awesome little spot called “Joyner”. No one goes there so this area is perfect for different views of the infamous landmark, This was, as I believe, 5 shots processed in the Photomatix Plugin for Aperture. / I would like to give a huge shout out to my best friend, Kasey Cline for doing some post editing on this image to make it even more fabulous and remove some watermarks and dust spots (gotta clean that sensor!) Taken with a Canon Rebel XSI (450D) / 18-55mm Technical: (for the HDR’d version) / Aperture f/29 / Focal Length 55mm / Shutter 1/50 / ISO 200

Normally you do not get a good view of this pool. I was given a tip to hike up to a near by hill. Doing so enabled me to take this photo. The mist rising from the pool actually took on the color of the pool which you can see on the left side. This is truly one of the highlights of Yellowstone NP.

This landscape rose up before us on our way toward Lusk, Wyoming. The full moon was spectacular and when we came over a hill on the highway I saw this bluff and begged my husband to pull over so I could take a few pictures. Because it was nearly dark – of course – I needed to use my tripod and where we stopped was not exactly out of the way of traffic. My first attempt at taking the picture was foiled by the flashing hazard lights on our suburban. I thought my husband would lose it when I asked if he could please turn the lights of the truck off completely for a few seconds but he patiently complied and this was the resulting image. /
