Weekly Photo Challenge – Elements
“For this week’s challenge, explore the classical elements of earth, air, water, and fire. How do you capture something invisible like air or the movement of water?” – ERICA V.
No place is like Yellowstone National Park that includes all the elements on this planet we call home. Its vast land covers mountains and flat land, waterfall, and volcano.
“Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The Caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world’s geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth’s northern temperate zone. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants.”

Yes, it’s fascinating place. I heard that many plants and flowers grow back after a huge fire years ago.

The pictures are wonderful. I am surprised how many people didn’t know about the super volcano in Yellowstone. When I tell people they say I must be mistaken, but after they look it up, they are as shocked as I was. LOL

AI visited Yellowstone a million years ago. It was beautiful. Now I’m so close to it I would like to see it again. I was amazed to see flowers popping out of frozen snow and ice and silver frozen lakes in June. We entered at the northeast entrance, from Montana and I saw the above mebpntioned sights on Beartooth Pass.
