MOUNT RAINIER

MOUNT RAINIER, CAPTURED ON A SMOKEY (WILD FIRES) AND HAZY DAY FROM MOUNT WALKER IN THE OLYMPIC NATIONAL FOREST, 150 MILES TO THE NORTHWEST.

SEATTLE (50 MILES FROM THIS VIEWPOINT) IS UNSEEN, BUT IS LOCATED ON PUGET SOUND BETWEEN THESE MOUNTAIN TOPS. I AM TOLD THAT YOU CAN SEE THE SPACE NEEDLE ON A CLEAR DAY.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Minerva Terrace is the primary feature of the Mammoth Hot Springs Area. It goes through cycles of activity where there may be no water at all to such large travertine deposits that it covers the boardwalk. The park actually installed a moveable boardwalk just in case.

THEY LOOK DOCILE, BUT ARE TRULY WILD AND DANGEROUS. DURING OUR VISIT TO YELLOWSTONE A LADY WAS GORED,

TOSSED 10 FT INTO THE AIR, AND LATER DIED.

I WAS STANDING ON THE BOULDER HANGING IN THE CENTER WHEN I SNAPPED THE IMAGE. YOU CAN SEE SUBMERGED ROCKS ON EITHER SIDE OF IT..

Fire in the National Park left large groves of trees like skeletons.

THEY LOVE THE SAGEBRUSH GROUND COVER OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK

I saw her out the corner of my eye. I moved 5 ft. from the edge. I snapped off about 5 quick shots. She leaned back and pushed up after about 10 seconds. Definitely could have been steadier and sharper, but I hate heights.

The legend of Dead Horse Point states that around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck was then fenced off with branches and brush. One time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River 2,000 feet below. A closer look at the canyon floor reveals the ghostly outline of the horses left behind.

Iguazu Falls span across both Argentina and Brazil. We visited Argentina side followed next day the Brazilian side. The water spray was quite intense requiring the cameras to be cleaned after every shot
