Trees in the Mist

We headed into Yellowstone relatively early in the morning. Near the entrance some thermal features threw up a cloud of mist that was backlit by the rising sun. It makes for a dramatic view.

In fact it was so dramatic that Wendy wrenched the car into a turnout, throwing around everything inside the car and narrowly missing the median. She then became so entranced with the view that she let the car roll into the curb instead of stopping it. Not exactly an auspicious beginning for a trip that turned out to involve some interesting driving.

A few more from that spot here. I'm too lazy to link them individually, so larger versions are here.
