Measures of Anonymity #25 Bozeman, Montana 2013

I haven’t done one from this series in a while. This is one of the engineering buildings on the Montana State University campus.]]>

Up the Creek Bozeman, Montana 2013

A view up the frozen creek behind our house.

What a Difference a Day Makes Bozeman, Montana 2013

This was taken on the same section of the creek in yesterday’s photo, but a day later. Cold temperatures overnight turned the free flowing water into a solid frozen sheet. The next day after that, it warmed up and it was all free flowing again.]]>

S-Curve Bozeman, Montana 2013

A shot of the creek outside our backdoor after a couple of inches of new snow fell the other day.]]>

Plugged Bozeman, Montana 2013

So why was I attracted to this composition? I don’t know, maybe it was because of the way the electric cord and the tree trunk parallel each other, and the repeating squares of the window.]]>

Getting Away Gardiner, Montana 2013

A raven playing hard to get at the garbage transfer station in Gardiner (one of the more scenic spots I like to visit on a trip to Yellowstone).]]>

Last Stand Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 2013

This tree on a rise above the road in Yellowstone, a victim of the big fires of 1988, has attracted my attention for many years now. I finally stopped to photograph it on this last trip. By the looks of it the base is pretty well rotted; so I figured it might be my last chance.]]>

This branch is starting to look like some undersea coral formation.

Making Fossils #4 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 2013

Terrace patterns formed by travertine deposits in pools of hot water.

Making Fossils #3 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 2013

With the crusty white coating, these branch ends take on the look of giant snowflakes. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine them as such given all the snow around Mammoth this time of year; at least it wouldn’t be hard if it weren’t for the steaming hot water flowing over them.]]>
