Boardwalk

Description

In almost every photo I've seen of Yellowstone's geothermal features (geysers, mud volcanoes, etc.), I've noticed that an ever-present aspect of them is rarely included: the wooden boardwalks that allow us to cross fields of boiling water to get near them. So, I've done a series of images including both the geothermal features and the boardwalks that take us there. :)

It was challenging to find spaces where there weren't tons of tourists walking!

Dark sky is the result of holding a neutral density (ND) filter over a polarizer on my wide angle. Photos in this series are edited overall only for minor contrast and sharpening.

This is my favorite of the three... I like how the sky is more dramatic and the steam is more central and contained rather than everywhere. At first glance, I didn't like that the boardwalks were in the photos, but after reading your statement, I will admit, I find them sort of interesting (yay for reading artists comments :w00t:)...
