I tried to get off the road and away from the masses snapping photos of "wild buffalo" while on our trip last week. What a beautiful place in this world.87878822-M-1.jpg

It just cracked me up that thousands of people make the pilgimage every hour to snap away at Old Faithful. There was a buzz as people ran out to the bleachers to watch!:clap The lady next to me took about 10 photos with her phone! I guess it's just one of those things that everyone must see...that was my ONE TIME however.

    I like the pano and the old faithful picture. I also like the guy trying to shoot large format amongst the crowd. I bet he was having a great time.

    cool
    I think the mountains are my favorite but I have weakness for the Tetons. I have seen old faithful hundreds of times and I still love to watch, but you need to go in the spring or fall when the crowds are a little thinner. I actually watched once when we were (really) the only ones watching.

    That pano is absolutely gorgeous!

    I used to live about 90 miles from the Gardner gate and used to go down (I lived in Montana) into the park every week or two. I can clearly remember the buzz you are talking about. Old Faithful is very interesting the first couple of times, but it is pretty much the same each time.

    Very nice collection of photos. Do you have more posted somewhere for the rest of us to drool over?

    Interesting shots...love that pano thumb.gif What prog did you stitch it with if i may ask ?

    Why are there dead trees around old faithfull ? I would assume if the water was brakish etc enough to kill the trees or ground too wet & drowned them then they wouldnt have been able to grow that close in the first place....has something changed recently to kill them ? Fire perhaps ?

    Thank you all for the kind comments. I just used photoshop to stitch together. The dead trees photo was at Norris Basin and not Old Faithful. Very cool place...like a different planet!!
