Yellowstone National Park (United States)

In 1827, Yellowstone became the US’s first national park. Found in north-west Wyoming, the area is over 3000 square miles in size, with 8 different zones – at least four days are necessary to see each of them properly. Over half of the park is covered with pines which vibrate to the area’s volatile seismic energy, fueled by the Steamboat Geyser, the tallest in the world. With multicolored craters, the ocher cliffs and the dizzying waterfalls, here it is the wolves, coyotes and grizzlies who write the law.

How a National Park Changed the Way I Shoot: Lessons From Yellowstone (Part 3)I've never been one for collecting souvenirs, not even remotely. I have always much preferred to take some extra time to hunt down a few locations in which to shoot some landscape photographs. For me, the pictures that I get to take home are the best souvenirs that I could hope for. In many ways, the more work that it takes to capture such images, the more the pictures end up meaning to me. I get to feel like I earned the right to have such a fun and print-worthy memory. I would venture a guess that there are quite a few of you who take the exact same approach when you travel.
