2011 Yellowstone Winter

Started out in Bozeman, stayed a first night in Mammoth Hot Springs, stayed several days around Old Faithful, and then back to the Mammoth Hot Springs area for the Wolf Discovery tour.

I guess I was expecting a lot more of the area around it to be free of snow. It's too bad eruption predictions are posted this time of year for most of the geysers. I think this one only erupts every 12 hours but it would be nice to get a shot of the shadow of the steam and water on the white snow. - February 03, 2011 - 1/4000 sec at f / 5.6 - 28 mm - ISO 400 - 44°28'23" N 110°50'29" W
