Still filled with the spirit of Savanna Studio Fall 2001, six of us decided to have a trip to Yellowstone National Park. It was myself, Weet, Tom, Emma, Emmaly and Emmaly's roommate for a whole week. With two cars, we decided to drive all the way to Wyoming (and Montana), and managed to stay together there for a whole week.

Thomas Moran was a famous landscape painter who kept a collection of visual diaries of the Western World in painting, particularly those of Yellowstone National Park. He becomes my inspiration of keep sketching as part of my own visual studies.

This is one of the few blogs that I better shut up. Pictures speak for themselves.

Wonderful photos
I was born and raised in Bozeman, MT just north of Yellowstone almost 60 years ago. Yellowstone holds a special place in my heart and your photos are wonderful. The natural beauty of Yellowstone in one of this country's greatest treasures. The man-made beauty of the Old Faithful Inn in also a treasure. I am glad to see the structure is still in use and is obviously honored by the people who maintain it. Thank you for sharing your delightful experiences with us.
