Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. -Ansel Adams
Last Thursday morning I headed just down the street to Black Sand Basin. For one early morning I was glad to come away with a few photographs made. Black Sand Basin is somewhat overlooked although it lies just a stone’s throw from Old Faithful. It has a couple of geysers that are quite active and the light that morning was real nice. What’s your favorite national park to photograph?
Cliff Geyser
Green Lake
Hot Spring runoff to Iron Spring Creek
Spouter Geyser
Part of the joy of being in Yellowstone is the people you meet along the way. Larry Youngberg is out traveling the national parks.

Oh nice! I am about to start reading the three books by Ansel Adams, starting with The Camera
Sure to be good reads!
They will. His photographs are amazing. Whenever I see them, I hold my breath and go silent in awe
Being a Californian, most of the parks I love are the popular ones, Yosemite and Sequoia but I really enjoyed Pinnacles, too. The rock formations are awesome and the caves are great fun in the spring when water is running through them. Too hot after that, though.
I haven’t been to the pinnacles, but I’m working with someone who was just there. My favorite lesser known park is Great Sand Dunes, just an amazing place.
Have not been there, Ill check it out.
Looks amazing there. Someday….
Yes you must
Yellowstone, Teton, or any of the Utah parks, especially Arches. Too many great parks to choose from!
That’s a good dilemma to have!
Love your Green Lake shot. Parks? Glacier National Park for its untouched, untamed wildness!
That’s a darn good reason!
Favorite shot is Green Lake. Favorite park is Glacier National Park for its untamed wildness!
That is a great park, thanks for the comments!

In France we have some vulcanos but they are not active ( in Auvergne )
