Fine Art | Wind Cave Lone Tree

Fine Art | Wind Cave Lone Tree   Perhaps my favorite national park, Wind Cave never disappoints. This lone tree has been one of my most frequent subjects at Wind Cave.  Many times the sky and weather didn’t cooperate with my visit.  Still, Wind Cave is just a great park; secluded and quiet with a feeling of remoteness.  You can drive through the park on the one gravel road, stop the car, turn off the engine, and hear: nothing, for a moment, then the sounds of nature.  It is totally quiet of the sounds of man and screaming with the sounds of pure nature.  It’s a place to make a photograph.  For the whole story with all images, see Fine Art | a 7 Image Story.

Fine Art | Yellowstone First Snow

Fine Art | Yellowstone First Snow   There’s nothing like Yellowstone in the winter.  Yellowstone always provides perspective and introspection.  Every time I go to Yellowstone, the experience changes with new vistas, wildlife, challenges, and accomplishments.   This particular visit was very short; only one day.  The park was officially closed except for the north entrance and the road to Cooke City through Lamar Valley.  This image comes from a place close to the north entrance.  A snowstorm had fallen the night before, covering everything in sparkling fresh snow. The Yellowstone River, flowing north out of the park, was not frozen due to the thermal features of the park.  For the whole story with all images, see Fine Art | a 7 Image Story.
