Winter is a special time to visit Yellowstone National Park. The weather can be brutally cold and snowy, markedly reducing the number of visitors. This, in turn, leads to a special solitude. It is easy to understand why only the strong survive- both flora and fauna. The fumaroles and other geothermal features can create a minimalist landscape. I am continually drawn to try and capture this battle to survive.
