Yellowstone was one of the few National Parks I got to visit this year. Having been bedridden for the first half while recovering from a surgery, this trip proved to be a welcome respite to explore the outdoors. This National Park's geothermal features set amidst a dramatic backdrop of vast lakes, snow-capped peaks and bountiful wildlife make it a treat for photographers and nature explorers.
And during this trip, I felt grateful to also take my parents to this unique destination. They thoroughly enjoyed all that the park had to offer, and were even game to accompany me to capture memorable sunrises like this.

Broken Earth
Going through my archives, I came across a series of images from Yellowstone showcasing the kaleidoscopic colors of a volcanically active area. But mere images cannot convey the steam-engine like hiss venting from fumaroles, the bubbling sounds of geysers, and the splashing sounds of scalding waters, nor can they bring out the pungent sulphurous scent of a broken earth. The raw power of Yellowstone brought all my senses to a halt. But it refreshed me like no other National Park did.
