Nikon D200 Soup |Yellowstone Firehole Falls Firehole Falls are located about half a mile upstream from the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers at Madison Junction. With only a 40 foot drop, Firehole Falls aren’t real tall; just majestic, with unsurpassed rugged beauty. It was a cold, overcast dull day in the middle of winter.
The Back Story Capturing this image was not so simple. Do Not Try This! Several People Have Been Injured! The falls lie about a hundred feet below the road. It was bit of a decent and climb back up to get this shot. In fact, it’s dangerous. Actually, the park rangers have now blocked off the way down to the river. Probably, too many people were falling; it’s really steep. I was the only one from the snow coach foolish enough to make the trip to the river bottom. I would not try it again without an experienced climbing buddy and a rope. Once along the river, what a reward. To capture this image, I used a tripod with its feet in the water. The river bank hugs the canyon wall so there’s not much room to maneuver. I tried to fall in the river, but luckily was unsuccessful.

Nikon D200 Soup | CAVU above Michigan Clear And Visibility Unrestricted; music to a pilot’s ears. Here, flying north along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in early September, it’s as clear as it gets in the lower 48. Yes, Alaska can get much clearer; hard to believe until you see it. Soon, the leaves will be turning into a kaleidoscope of color making a very different view.
