S OME LIKE IT HOT: Yellowstone's Favorite Geysers, Hot Springs, and Fumaroles, with Personal Accounts by Early Explorers
By Susan Neider Paperback 128 pages ISBN: 160639006-6 Book Description Some Like It Hot! is a beautiful visual portrait of Yellowstone National Park's best and most favorite thermal features. This stunning portfolio of photographs by Susan M Neider is uniquely organized by geographic region, so it's easy to find specific geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. Fascinating historical descriptions by early explorers of the geyser basinsincluding General H.D. Washburn, F.V. Hayden, and famed conservationist John Muiraccompany these vibrant images and emphasize the timeless beauty and wonder of Yellowstone. About the Author With only a couple of exceptions, I have had the good fortune to photograph every national park and monument in the American west, and then, of course, Yellowstone, our first national park. Add to that list most of the numerous state parks and scenic places along the way. I'd estimate this amounts to roughly 60,000 car miles and as many firings of the shutter, over ten years, traveling about four weeks a year. It's hard to beat the breathtaking scenery of southern Utah and places like Sequoia and Yosemite, but I have had more fun in Yellowstone than in all those other parks combined. It's dynamic, it's elusive, it's chance, it's varied, and surprisingly, the thermal features are largely ignored as subjects of great beauty. Photographers hunt the wildlife but walk right by gems like Emerald Pool. To be honest, Yellowstone is not easy to photograph, but I have tried to find a way to make it so. | |
