 Twin Trees, Yellowstone National Park |
|
|
|
| Two long dead trees stand in fog generated by Mammoth Hot Springs early on a cold autumn morning. These trees likely died when the thermal activity of Mammoth Hot Springs moved beneath them long ago. Mineral deposits now encase the lower trunks and the ends of some of their low hanging branches. The density and position of fog around Yellowstone's thermal features is largely dependant on temperature and wind conditions. A great deal of patience and some luck was required to capture this image. At times the fog would envelop the trees as well as the photographer, and after several exposures were taken the wind picked up and holes appeared in fog, destroying the simplicity of the scene. | |
