Title - Evening Light Yellowstone

How I did it - The image is as taken except for a small amount of cropping. I have visited Yellowstone some half dozen occasions but this time I decided to have my accommodation in the park so I could catch the early morning and late evening light. I believe it paid off and would strongly recommend it.

COMMENTS:

Mark Aksoy	A great panoramic view of the geyser activity of Yellowstone!  I especially like the way the steam clouds in the background are balanced by the water in the foreground.
Cliff Banks
Dick Cotterman	Looks like staying in the park is the way to photograph Yellowstone. I'm trying to figure out what the white puffy areas along the skyline and the lake are. They are a little distracting without knowing what they are.

Ellie Webster	Which light is this? Early morning or late evening? It is intriguing.  It looks like my state (Calif) which has been burning. I, of course, realize we are looking at thermal activity and this is a fascinating image.
