Description

Its been years since we have been to Yellowstone National Park. We have been there twice and want to go back again. There is a lot of wildlife to see in addition to Old Faithful, there are many, many, geysers... Too many to see even in one trip, even if you spend a week there. Then there are the Wolves, Bears, Elk, Buffalo or American Bison and too many small animals to list.

This is a digital painting created in Photoshop II, of a Geyser Pool in Yellowstone. Used a bit of Artistic License, creating the bright contrasty colors with more saturation. But, the pool itself was close to this shape.
. . . . .
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. The region was bypassed during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s.

The U.S. Army was commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than 1,000 archaeological sites.
