The tree at the Artist’s Point overlook at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone has stood there for a long time. I recently discovered a photograph that I took 55 years ago on my first visit to Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 1966 when I worked at Jackson Lake Lodge in the Grand Tetons. A couple of friends and I hitchhiked through Yellowstone on our day off, stopping at Artist’s Point. In the faded and yellowed Kodak Instamatic print, the tree is barely visible. On this visit, I wanted to feature the tree which stands out from the snowy canyon walls because of the steam from the hot springs below.
Breath taking image Carol. Nice work.
Love the image and story! Wondering if I’ve been there. Have you considered scanning the old photo, re-editing and posting a comparison shot? It would be fun to see the difference!
This tree tickles me pink. So informing that you photographed same tree in the past. Glad you mentioned the steam background. Were you wearing your beaver mittens?
Very cool to have a chance to redo a photo taken 55 years ago. Time & technique let alone equipment have changed but the tree perseveres.
Very beautiful!
