Castle Geyser, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 2010

A rising sun puts the force of this erupting geyser into contrast with a partially overcast sky. My 14mm wideangle lens stretches the scene wide and tall enough to embrace the height of the column of water and the surrounding terrain. This image opens a four-picture sequence that boldly symbolizes the beauty and grandeur of the vertical works of nature here at Yellowstone.

I agree, Iris. It was early, and it was cold, but that's when Yellowstone is at its best. The chilling temperature collides with the hot steam and creates a spectacular image.

Aren't you glad you braved the early hour and the chilling cold to photograph Castle Geyser at sunrise? An image like this makes it all worthwhile.
