Round Two Image for Photography Slam competition...

The previous five posts qualified me for the Final Round in the Photo Slam competition described in this post. This image, entitled Mammoth Hot Springs... surreal landscape of the travertine terraces... is the one I chose for the final round where we were judged on a single image. Some of you may recall having seen it before when I posted it over a year ago after our September, 2009 trip out west.

The top three contestants in the photo slam will be featured in a gallery show at Glen Echo Park in November, 2011. I will definitely post more about that as the time draws near.

Antelope on roadside... Yellowstone National Park, WY

There were three antelope... young bucks... by the side of the road closer than I've ever seen antelope before... just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful day! Here's one for your viewing pleasure...

Mammoth Hot Springs... alien vista in Yellowstone National Park...

We arrived too late to properly explore the Hot Springs at Mammoth in Yellowstone National Park... but we did have time for a brief look at the lower terraces nearest the lodge and dining areas... I will be posting more photos from this amazing place on my travel blog (some are already there) but am trying to keep to one photo a day from each day of our journey on this blog... (may weaken in that resolve by the time I do my next post... having too much fun on this vacation to post with any kind of regularity!)
