Of course, Yellowstone is more than just volcanic activity. It has also amazing wildlife (buffalos, foxes, coyotes, deer, bears, bald eagles). I saw all except foxes and grizzlies. Foxes are shy and I missed seeing the grizzlies.
Also, there are wonderful canyons and water falls.
Here are some images of the scenery:
and a few panoramas:
Of course, I took photos of the wildlife:
Finally, 2 panorama photos of Grand Teton National Park which I also visited, which is stunning:
Enjoy.
Hi again,
Some more photos to share with you of the many volcanic and mud pools you can see here. Some of these are from visits to Midway Geyser Basin, Biscuit Basin and Black Sand Basin.
and panorama views:
Next, here are images of the upper terrace at the Mammoth Hot Springs, the mud pools at the Artist Paintspots, and, of course, a photo of Old Faithful Geyser.
and a nice panorama shot of the blue pool at the Midway Geyser Basin:
In the next post, there will be some wilderness shots.
Enjoy,
Johan.
Hi again,
One of the most exciting things for me in Yellowstone are the various volcanic pools with all those bacterial colonies and biofilms that create all those beautiful colors. Of course, as a chemist, I love the smell of sulfur and also the feeling the heat of the steam coming from the pools.
Here are some views of the Lower Geyser Basin and the Biscuit Basin:
The colors are amazing. You see also the steam coming out of the vents and pools and it is very hot and smells like sulfur gases. Cool !
Here are two panorama shots:
To be continued.
