This is one of those moments when a camera in hand meets a scene waiting to be photographed: a beleaguered traveller resorting to solitaire on his PC while waiting for the promised next flight. The blue sky ignores the chaos below. Air travel is certainly, as a fellow passenger lamented, “not what it once was”.

The journey to the glacier is an adventure, particularly the “Ice Explorer” ride.

Sunrise VR Scene with the BBC at Old Faithful
While capturing this sunrise scene at Old Faithful recently, I learned that the BBC is shooting a 3 part series on Yellowstone. Their videographers, equipped with some very nice equipment, spent the past two mornings waiting for the “perfect” sunrise behind Old Faithful. This scene, on their third day, was best, according to their National Park Service Ranger minder. The program will evidently air in the UK this fall and here sometime in 2009.
Location: 44.460174 -110.829563
The kind ranger also mentioned that she is often asked “where they put the animals at night?”

“Catch the Spirit Block Party”
I have no idea what these “mimes” were publicizing at the corner of Oakland Avenue and Monroe on a Sunday evening.
