Description

Me and a few Facebook friends decided to meetup in Yellowstone for one week.  We had a list of animals we wanted to see, wolves, foxes, moose etc.  However, there was this one photo that I had seen online of a bison coming out of the fog of a geyser.  This was something I desperately wanted to see and capture in person.  I had tried multiple times around various areas during prior visits, near the geysers, during sunsets and even while on paid park tour but I had no luck. But this photo happened in the most unlikely of places, up on the northern range near a pull out where we had to stop because the snow flurry and fog was becoming too dense to see. 

I chose this image because at first glance, it seems like an intense stare down with a frozen beast.  But really it is just a powerful image that captures the harsh winter conditions that these Yellowstone bison endure as a way of life.
