Broad shallow hot pools, steam, and mineral deposits all combined to create this surreal vista at The Paintpots in Yellowstone.
The winds and steam came together at The Paintpots in Yellowstone to produce this whirling steam devil.
The Paintpots is another hot springs area near Old Faithful in Yellowstone. This area is characterized by broad, shallow hot pools and steam.
Over time, the hot springs at West Thumb in Yellowstone National Park have deposited a variety of colorful minerals along the edges of the "hot pots".
Vivid contrasts in colors and textures are highlighted at the West Thumb stop in Yellowstone.
The hot pools at West Thumb in Yellowstone are incredibly beautiful. The edges between the hot water and colorful mineral deposits provide striking images of wonder.

Casa Batllo is a unique home, so unlike any other in the world. Every turn is filled with surprises. This arched hallway offers an uplifting passage between parts of the home, one more fanciful delight to behold.
This set of stairs leads to the roof and exterior of Casa Batllo. The stairwell provides a backdrop for the curvaceous and angular stairway that creates shadows, mystery, and a sense of space before exiting the interior.
Curving lines are a central theme throughout Casa Batllo. This railing combines wood and metal, contoured at a stair landing to carry your hand around the stairway as you journey through this magical home.

I enjoy shooting in both digital and traditional formats, as well as using a DSLR, 35mm SLR, and a 4x5 view camera, and I process B/W prints - magic!
