Storm Castle

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 28, 2012394 views15 comments

It was a very foggy morning at Castle Geyser and I was hoping the sun would peak above the background horizon but it never did. Still there was so much humidity in the air that the fog provided some nice shooting conditions. The geyser was not going off at the time but the cold air produced a fair amount of steam rising into the sky.

My Yellowstone eBook is still available by clicking on the link below if you are planing a trip out this way in the coming year.

Thanks for the C&C and Happy New Year to all!

This is just magical Dean. Love the color palette here and the patterns in the lower half of the image. The light here is simply stunning. Makes me want to be up there.

Very dramatic scene Dean. It looks like a volcano ready to explode. Love the color palette too.

Dean,

this is awesome! I love the pinks, lavenders and just the pastels in general; and especially how they're reflecting off the wet surface and runoff. And they way this is all lined up does indeed look like a volcano letting off some steam. The real nice touch to this too is the orange on the ridge hinting of a sunrise/sunset. Excellent!

Saw this on Facebook, Dean, awesome display of color and light. Really well done! Can't wait to get back out to Montana, we'll have to hook up and actually get out for some photography this time

Otherworldly, Dean. The color in the clouds certainly makes it special. Excellent light, as always.
