Description

Waterfall of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone in black & white. A big, beautiful waterfall, that is easily visited. Yellowstone is a marvel, full of waterfalls and other amazing sights. Definitely something to see. The lower falls (44￿43��05��N 110￿29��46��W) are 308 feet (94 m) high, or almost twice as high as Niagara. The volume of water is in no way comparable to Niagara as the width of the Yellowstone River before it goes over the lower falls is 70 feet (22 m), whereas Niagara is a half mile (800 m). The lower falls descend from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow. The lower falls of the Yellowstone is still the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary from 63,500 USgal/s (240 m￿/s) at peak runoff to 5,000 USgal/s (19 m￿/s) in the fall. The Lower Yellowstone Falls are in Yellowstone National Park, near Canyon Village. This is one of the most impressive waterfalls in North America. There are many areas from which to view the falls. Nice distant views can be had from Artist's Points, or the overlooks on the north side of the Canyon. For a closer view of the falls, take Uncle Tom's Trail, which consists of a series of metal stairs that lead down into the Canyon.
I love to take photos! Pure & simple. I like capturing moments in everyday life, landscapes, cityscapes, nature and people. I love to follow the Light!
'Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.' - Ansel Adams.
ï¿¿A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.ï¿¿ Ansel Adams
As an avid follower of Ansel Adams, his quotes describes my approach to capturing light ï¿¿ the essence of all great photographs and my personal philosophy. I actively pursue a wide range of images where shadow, light and composition unite to create powerful emotions. Whether Iï¿¿m here in Green Valley or in far away places, I'm immersed in an environment where God is constantly providing subjects that are just a click away. I translate my vision by listening, observing and following the Light! With the inspiration of the Sonoran Desert, and the techniques studied from other photographers, I have everything I need to pursue my passion.
