White Dome Geyser

Out of all the geysers in Yellowstone National Park, this is by far one of my favorites.  It’s a small dome, probably about 10 feet tall (which is very tall, really, for a dome), but it spews a wonderfully unpredictable little geyser – or big geyser – depending on its mood.  This one is called White Dome – a perfect name for a real beautiful geyser.

Taken using an Olympus OM-1n, Oly 35-70mm lens, Cinestill 50 film, and scanned in a Pakon.

Over the Edge

Today is an uncropped panoramic film image of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park. We were here in July-August of this year, and not in the best of shape for a crawling / climbing tour of this remarkable cliff dwelling. Instead, as I’ve done before, I leaned over the edge of a balcony built high above and took my pictures.

Cinestill 50 Daylight film is used here, along with the OM-1n. There are four images here, turned into a pano in CS6. Cropping would take away from the awesome quality of the overlook and the amazing buildings below.

The World Beyond

On the rim of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado is a thin line leading to other worlds.

Originally I had mislabeled this as from Mesa Verde (that Southwest just all looks the same! – not!), and then looked again. That is one of the troubles with film . . . you have to use your memory – not your memory card – to recall where you were.

This is a small panorama using Kodak Ektar 100 and the Olympus XA4 point-n-shoot. And, it is the Grand Canyon with a snaking view of the Colorado far below and beyond.
