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.

Amazing light with the sun going down behind me. It made the clouds in front of me a strange yellow which made for some good reflections in the pools of water. I remember it being yellower than the original shot but I didn't feel like I ever got the white balance right so I went back to the original value. I had to hurry unfortunately. Only the guide and myself got out for this walk and he only stayed long enough to check for wildlife. - February 06, 2011 - 1/60 sec at f / 16 - 34 mm - ISO 200 - 44°24'57" N 110°34'10" W
