The Yellowstone River boils over the rim, and plummets 309 feet into the canyon below. Taken at the brink of the lower falls. Yes, the water really is this color. Wish this image had an audio track. The roar of the falls is really something to hear.

A grand, majestic, immutable beauty! This scene can leave you stumbling around in a foggy stupor looking for adjectives to describe its’ impact. In trying to put this scene to film I was having trouble finding a suitable sight from which to record it. I almost gave up the attempt, but then I noticed a space between two trees and I instinctively went in between them. And there I found myself in a bit of an open area which cannot be seen from behind all the fir trees in the area. Sometimes I think I have a cooperative guardian angel. The camera used for this photograph was the Mamiya 645 Pro with the 300mm Tele. The filtering was a combination of the No.21 Org with the Polarizer. The settings for the camera were f8 @ 1/8th sec.
Water flows over the travertine terraces of Canary Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Bacteria living the hot water provide the orange, yellow and brown colors.
Yellowstone – Wild & Beautiful This image and a number of others are all part of my venture to Yellowstone National Park in June 2008. For those of you watching my brother, my father, and me, you might see some similar shots since we all visited Yellowstone together. What is interesting is to see how each of use see some of the same sights through a different eye. / / Over the next few weeks you will see more and more postings from this venture. I hope you enjoy the series. / / Please View Larger / /

This is a shot of a geothermal pool in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. USA These geothermal pools are fascinating to observe, and photograph. / The atmosphere around these pools is very harsh. The air is very heavily sulfuric, and very steamy from the hot water of the pools. The colors you see are naturally occuring from the different forms of algea that live in the different temperatures along the sides of the pools. They are very deep, very old, and very mysterious. These pools shown here are very calm. Some are very violent, as they boil, spatter, and even geyser into the air. Some are watery, like you see here, while others are very thick like mud. The ground in this area here is very crusty. You must walk on special raised walkways, or risk the fate of falling through the crust, and into these boiling hot pools. It’s a dangerous, but beautiful place. Definitely one of the most unique places on earth.
Driving back from the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone we were amazed to see this large cinnamon black bear grazing by the side of the road. I literally reached out of the car window to take this. Amazing blue eyes that might possibly be cataracts or just a genetic anomaly. We don’t have cinnamon black bears in the eastern part of the US. This image is included in my 2009 wildlife calendar
This massive beast is living in Yellowstone National Park. He is a descendent from a remnant population of 23 individual mountain bison that survived the mass slaughter of the 1800s by hiding out in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone Park. Please View Larger
The two unlikely companions were both more interested in the approaching photographer than any untoward fraternization between species. Bull Elk was with a group of large bulls just a few miles into Yellowstone on the road from Mammoth to Tower. Canon EOS-1D, Mark II, Canon 500 f4L IS 1.4 Extender – 1/800@ f/14, ISO 200.

This scene captured near Soda Butte in Yellowstone’s famous Lamar Valley. There was a fresh elk kill down to the lower left of this shot. Wolves were well fed and repaired to the top of this cut bank to relax and play after eating their fill. There were as many as 13 wolves visible at a time. Extraordinary wolf watching that a.m. Canon EOS-1D, Mark II, Canon 500 f4L IS w Canon 1.4 extender – 1/400@ f/7.1, ISO 320, Bogen 3411 w Wimberley style head. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.2
I was fortunate with this wolf, he was cruising along fairly near the road. When a group of photographers stopped to admire him, I went a bit further down the road trying to anticipate his direction. So it was just the two of us in the sage when I took this shot. He seemed aware of me but relaxed about my presence. The wow factor here was his poise, the ease with which he stopped to survey his next move. Like he owned the valley. In hind sight, I guess he does. Canon 40D, Canon 100-400mm IS lens, tripod.

Icicles are some of the most beautiful to shoot, especially with water. During fall, winter, and spring, it gets very cold and you have to dress wisely for shooting like this. It takes a long time.
Two mature bull elk stand off over the affections of a dozen harem candidates at the crack of dawn – north of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone Park. In this part of the North, fall is signaled as much by the sounds as the colors. The melancholic bugle of the bull Elk or the clatter of antlers as they spar over prospective harems. The crisp smell of a morning in fall and the cured grass at dawn . . . this is fall in Yellowstone. Canon EOS-1D Mark II, Canon 70-200 f2.8L @70mm, 1/60, f/11 ISO 100, Processed in Lightroom 2.2.
I didn’t really like this pic of Leopold from the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. He doesn’t lift his head and he’s really long and lanky. So I played with it last night, changing the crop, adding some filters—anistropic diffuse and paint daubs – and then I went out and took a picture of moss on a rock and used that as a layer. This morning I dodged and burned my self silly with it. Olympus 570 Point and Shoot

A black bear makes an all too short visit to the forest’s edge. It made an appearance for maybe 5 minutes then vanished silently back into the darkness of the forest. Yellowstone National Park. / Canon 5D. 100-400mm L.
The lower falls are 308 feet (94 m) high, or almost twice as high as Niagara. The volume of water is in no way comparable to Niagara as the width of the Yellowstone River before it goes over the lower falls is 70 feet (22 m), whereas Niagara is a half mile (800 m). The lower falls descend from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow. The lower falls of the Yellowstone is still the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary from 63,500 USgal/s (240 m³/s) at peak runoff to 5,000 USgal/s (19 m³/s) in the fall.
