Yellowstone

Yellowstone National Park is truly a place of wonder. It became a national park in 1872 and was the official first national park to be created in the United States. It has so many unique and diverse features that encompass its 2.2 million acres. From the Grand Prismatic Springs that just seep with warm, vibrant colors, to the grandiose Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, to the abundant wildlife - bears, bison, elk. I love Yellowstone because of what it means. This place was/is so stunning that people were inspired to protect it when they first discovered it. I’m glad that people of generations past were inspired to protect Yellowstone so I, as well as future generations, can enjoy its’ grandeur. [Shot on Portra 400 taken with a Mamiya 645]
