Location: Yellowstone National Park
Collection: Landscape Elk Grand Teton
Camera: Nikon D80. Lens: 260mm
Photographer's note: West Thumb Geyser Basin sits on the edge of Yellowstone Lake. It is filled with volcanic heated hot springs which produce clouds of steam all day long. When that steam is mixed with below freezing temperatures and warm water from nearby Yellowstone Lake, the effect can be dramatic. I arrived in the dark with the hope of capturing the sunrise but the thick steam as well as fog from the nearby Lake made navigating difficult. Moments after setting up the equipment two bull (male) elk emerged from the fog, one each to my the left and right and began bugling and lowering their heads in preparation to fight over three females who were grazing nearby. I was located directly in their path! After several tense moments one of the elk turned and retreated while the elk above walked away in proud triumph.
