The Madison River

Madison River, Yellowstone National Park. Canon R5, 16mm, tripod, 1/250 @ f11, ISO 800

This image was from my last regular photography trip into Yellowstone National Park for the summer 2021 season. The sky promised some nice color for sunrise but due to layer of low clouds you can see in the bottom of the sky of this image, the colorful sunrise didn’t happen. But the sun did break out and cause the low layer of clouds to turn pink and red while the high clouds were white. This was probably thirty minutes after sunrise and I don’t recall seeing it happen quite like this before. But needless to say, I quickly found a location that showed the brilliant red, white, and blue sky with an interesting foreground.
