…well, Friday and Saturday, anyway. Â Oh, and sunrise on Sunday! Â The Dailylife Wife and I took a couple days off to go on down to West Yellowstone to see what we could find in the Park. Â We got a couple of nights in the King Suite at the Holiday Inn there for next to nothing (due to all of the points I have accumulated through Holiday Inn doing your bidding as a Public Servant…I now have three [3] points left. Â Time to hit the road again!). Â The weather was fine and the colors in the park were changing, and a lot of the critters came out to play…errrr…be photographed. Â But we will get to them. Â One of the neat things about Yellowstone in the Fall (besides the amazing lack of people and traffic jams) is the way the cool air affects the steam from the geysers and hot pots.
This is Great Fountain Geyser on Firepot Lake Drive.

As we drove down the drive we saw the Geyser shooting higher than the tree tops there!
(1/2000s f/6.3 ISO200 6mm (35mm eq:28mm) -1/3 stop P7100)
We got to it as it was dying down.

We later found out the Great Fountain Geyser goes off about twice a day, once in the night and once in daylight. Â It has a cycle of about 45 minutes from start to finish.

The Dailylife Mobile got drenched. Â I hope I can get the spots off…

It happened again with another geyser…<<sigh>>.
(1/640s f/6.3 ISO100 6mm (35mm eq:28mm) -1/3 stop, P7100)
Still, it was pretty neat!

You should see the Geyser at Sunset in a later post.
