Travertine Deposits, Minerva Terrace, Yellowstone National Park, WY (May 19, 2013, 5:35 pm)

Hiking around the Minerva Terrace at Yellowstone National Park, I found this section of the upper terrace where the mineral spray had pock-marked the rocks and killed the trees, turning them jet black. The trees reminded me of the haunting skeletal trees in Namibia.

This is beautiful in both color and black & white. I just really enjoyed the black and white abstraction that emerged from the scene.
