Camera settings: 80mm, f/13, 1/200, ISO 200 Hoar frosted trees atop Two Top Mountain, West Yellowstone, Montana. There’s only one way to reach the top of this mountain, and that’s by snowmobile. Fun, exhilerating and yes, freezing cold…but very cool to see these strange contorted shapes created by snow!

  • Kris Koeller - That’s pretty awesome. Probably the only place in the US with a little snow this Christmas…

“Oh, the weather outside is frightful…(la la la)…let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…”  What’s Christmas without snow? Here’s hoping we get some of that white stuff by next week! I photographed this guy in Yellowstone National Park last Feb. Taking the boardwalk around Upper Geyser Basin where Old Faithful and many more geysers […]

  • James Bern - Stunning photo, love the position of the bison and the greyness of the clouds. Very nice!

  • Brad Christensen - These are some great pics! I live 90 minutes from Yellowstone and I’ve never been there in the winter. You’ve inspired me.

  • admin - Thanks, Sue. Yes, it is a special place…how cool of you to share it with your boys.

Ahhh…doesn’t this scene divert your attention from your busy day? Makes me stop for a second, and take a deep sigh… and that’s what I need right now, in the midst of the rat race and frentic pace approaching the holidays! I saw this peaceful scene steps away from a busy street in Beijing. Weeping willow trees […]

  • Kris Koeller - Beautiful shot. So peaceful, which is ironic in a place like Beijing. Well done.

Visit in the afternoon and chances are you’ll see fishermen casting their poles from these wooden perches. Prime positions are passed down through the family, and not public domain for any fisherman to use. This particular man was fishing […]
