An Ominous Terrace

An Ominous Terrace
YELL050105
September 2005

Today we journey up to the iconic national park of our country, Yellowstone.  My last visit here was in 2005, and the northern reaches of the park hold the tavertine terraces of Mammoth hot springs.  This day, the fog lifting from the geothermal terrace obscured the already dismal view (as the first snowstorm rolled in behind me).  The dark clouds behind the scene compared well with the feel of the place, the decimated trees (killed from the geological activity and hot water constantly flowing) and the fog giving it an otherworldly view.  Enjoy.
