Morning Stand
Alright, one more picture from Yellowstone. This was taken in essentially the same exact spot as the second image down in my YNP, I - Color from mid-January. It’s a place along the road near Soda Butte where I like to stop right in the middle of everything, get out and take a [...]
The Dispute
