Fine Art | Yellowstone Tree

Fine Art | Yellowstone Tree

Fine Art | Yellowstone Tree   This Yellowstone Tree image came from a trip in the fall. Ground water and steam runoff from Yellowstone’s thermal features periodically floods the area around these lodgepole pine trees; killing them.  Several geysers can be seen steaming in the background.  Then silica precipitates upon the dead tree trunks creating the white “bobby sock” trees.  This silica slowly impregnates the wood and over time, could eventually petrify the wood. These striking trees stand tall against mostly clear skies.  For the whole story with all images, see Fine Art | a 7 Image Story.

Fine Art | Grey Wolf   Although I seldom capture images of captive wildlife, this B&W image from Wolf Park was clearly captured as a work of art.  The main wolf pack inhabits a very large habitat area which includes woods, grasslands, and a lake.  A couple of times a year, they teach wolf photography and allow small groups of photographers to capture images of the wolves.  It’s a rare experience to capture dramatic images of wolves, which is almost impossible in the wild.  For the whole story with all images, see Fine Art | a 7 Image Story.
