A Winter Canary

Canary Spring at Mammoth Hot Springs. Canon R5, 18mm, handheld, 1/125 @ f8, ISO 800

At the end of February, I needed to go to Gardiner, Montana for some work stuff. I stayed the night hoping for some great photo opportunities in Yellowstone’s northern section. I rarely visit this part of Yellowstone anymore, especially in winter, so I hoped for some cool stuff. While I enjoyed meeting up with some friends, photographically the trip was a bust. The weather didn’t cooperate though I did get some neat light at sunrise for a brief moment. Knowing it wouldn’t last long, I made the short walk to Canary Spring. Fortunately, a little color hit the clouds above the colorful terrace and I was able to create this image. The terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs were largely dry this winter so I was happy to at least have some color at Canary Spring.
