Malcor's trip to Yellowstone--2003

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Ah...I'm still basking in the joy left over from this trip. And I'll torture you all with a slide show of it. heh, thats your warning...flee now while you can. I'm no photographer and I have a crappy camera and I'm scaling all the pics down to fit here...so they probably suck. ~shrugs~

Enjoy ;)

[Malcor Sylverwood]

I think it is anyway ;)

[Malcor Sylverwood]

I just like the shadows on the ground and the contrast of the low clouds against the higher clouds.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

This is were I exerted myself far too much early in the trip--but I wasn't about to be out-climbed by my aunt and uncle.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Same place, oppisite perspective. That is my aunt in the corner, starting her descent.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Further down the road. A little more badlands color...tan, yellow, red.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

More badlands...odd castle like spires here.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Wow. The surprise (for me) of the trip. Nestled into the black hills is this gorgeous lake. Has nice cabins with awesome fireplaces.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Neat rock formation out of the evergreens.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

From a distance ~plays Close Encounters theme~

[Malcor Sylverwood]

A little closer and a little steeper angle. Plus, the sun is just trying to peek out.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Dunno...just like green grass, blue skies, and white clouds. :)

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Above the clouds....

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Tower Falls. I would have liked to get the vantage point from the bottom too, but they had the trail closed.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Another beautiful waterfall, but I don't recall the name. Its on the road from the NE entrance to Mammoth Springs.

One of the many faces of Mammoth Spring

Old Faithful 1

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Old Faithful 2

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Old Faithful 3

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Another geyser...castle, I think.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Morning Glory pool--or rather, most of it ;)

[Malcor Sylverwood]

The infamous Beehive geyser...some moments before providing the most vivid memory of this trip--providing that memory by completely soaking me. :D mmm...smells like sulphur.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Artist Paint Pots....basically boiling mud. I wish I could convey the texture this stuff looked to have...that and the deep bubbling/gurgling/boiling sound it makes.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Firehole falls. I also have this as a postcard, which looks better. heh

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Lower falls, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

[Malcor Sylverwood]

This, I believe, is Sulphur Cauldron. Tres gross ~grins~

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Boats, lake, mountain

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Same, sans boats

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Hidden Falls above Jenny Lake (via ferry then trail climb)

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Geyser...it goes off almost constantly...name escapes me. Its greek for clock water, I think. Something like that. Anyway, nearing sunset.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Moonrise over Yellowstone...if a little tough to see

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Rain over Yellowstone...and not on me

[Malcor Sylverwood]

The grand finale...my favorite pic by far.

SUNSET OVER YELLOWSTONE

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Thats it folks. I hope I haven't made your eyes bleed yet. Thanks for coming along with me.

wow, those are great pics malc.... did you do any colour correction on them? the colours look great! really nice light and contrast in most of the pics too.... very pretty. :D

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Thanks :)

The only thing I did was brighten some of them...this camera tends to be to dark, but thats it.
