First stop, arguably the most beautiful view in all of Yellowstone, Artist's Point. I've said at least once that my photography skills aren't adequate to convey certain features in Yellowstone, particularly geysers. It's certainly true of Artist's Point; I'm of the opinion that regardless of skill level, experience, and equipment, no image can compare to what you experience standing there. Successively closer pictures:
Uhh, not altogether out of the iffyness woods just yet.
Looking downriver.
Yet another unidentified animal--we're going to have to brush up on our fauna on the World Wide Web when we return home. I know it's a male from the antlers.
Finally, here's a shot of Artist's Point taken the day before from the North Rim; you can see all the people throughout the middle of the picture, the parking lot to the right, and the best place to view the Falls at the left. You are a thousand feet above the river.
