A breaking spring storm dusts the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone with a coating of snow. As the storm breaks, the morning sun spotlights the canyon and waterfall.
Beehive Geyser erupts in the early September light, the spray creating a large rainbow. Located on Geyser Hill behind Old Faithful Geyser, Beehive erupts on average once day.
The last of winters ice and snow tenuously clings to the walls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The ice cone at the base of the Lower Falls can, on a good winter, reach 200 feet tall. The Lower Falls thunders 308 feet to the canyon floor. It can be hard to visualize how tall the Lower Falls truly is. The trees in the bottom left are over 50 feet tall and are dwarfed by the waterfall and ice. There is a bit of photographic compression going on here. I am using a telephoto lens which compresses the whole scene. The waterfall and ice are closer together than the trees are to the waterfall and ice.
