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.

Steam from a nearby pool created some neat lighting through the tree branches. I tried to block the sun with the tree trunk but it's still pretty bright. This is near Castle Geyser which is over to my left. - February 03, 2011 - 1/1250 sec at f / 22 - 22 mm - ISO 400 - 44°28'22" N 110°50'31" W
