Yellowstone Series #4: Mammoth Springs and Fort Yellowstone
Mammoth Springs is an enormous limestone deposit, located on a fault line in the northwest corner of the Yellowstone caldera. Groundwater, heated by the volcano, bubbles up as a hot spring, leaving layered deposits. The blues, turquoises, and oranges are algae and bacteria that grow in the hot water. When we arrived, a herd of roughly twenty Roosevelt Elk was crossing the road into the limestone area, led by giant bull with a seven-point rack on each side. The males were rutting and rangers warned people to stay in their cars. The bull sat down among a group of females and started bugling. Loudly. In the photograph you can see Fort Yellowstone at the base of the small mountain. Click on image to enlarge.
Exhibition photographs of Mammoth Springs and Fort Yellowstone are limited to an edition of seven. The Yellowstone series of four photographs is also available as a group, priced at 25 percent off the individual prices (four prints for the price of three).
All photographs are printed with archival ink on Canson Rag Photographique paper. Framed exhibition prints use the highest grade of museum plexiglass. The series can also be purchased unframed—the Large and Medium prints have a 1.5-inch white border. Small prints have a 1-inch border.
FREE SHIPPING.
