There is something rather moody here that really appealed to me, more so than the color version.

A View Through the Trees
Overlooking the Snake River, a view of the Tetons through the trees.
On the Edge
The last time we were visited Yellowstone National Park – which is the size of a small country – the boardwalk surrounding the Grand Prismatic Spring was closed for repair and refurbishing. Yesterday, we made it . . . it was packed with people from everywhere in the world . . . but it was worth the crowds. Fumaroles are amazing in that they are boiling hot, occasionally spout a geyser, and have plant and animal life which can live in such extreme conditions (ones which humans consider extreme, though they probably don’t worry about it too much!). Besides the odd flora and fauna, the colors in these pools varies, from yellows and ochres, to deep reds, and finally to the blues and turquoises from the Caribbean or Mediterranean. If you ever get a chance to visit Yellowstone, do so – it’s an amazing place.
Home to the Ancestors
I love Mesa Verde … it is one of the wonders of the world. Here, a view of Spruce Tree House, closed, unfortunately, because of a slide into the area. Heavy rains caused it,and I hope it will be repaired soon. No damage was caused to the structure, which dates ca. 1200 a.d., but to the area where tourists – like yours truly – stand. We were there on an early morning, enjoying the quiet of the canyon into which it is built.
A Tribute to Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams took a picture of this view over the Snake River in the Teton National Park during the 1940s. Here is my tribute to a fine photographer. Developed using Polarr on my Chrome Book.
