Those who
have followed our photographic work with Alexandra for « La princesse au petit pois », already know where our trip through the US has led us.
Yellowstone national park is one of these places of absolute beauty that
outreaches dreams and expectations. Of course, I had seen spectacular images of
the park’s colourful hot springs and geysers, of course I knew about wildlife
everywhere, but from the very first minute we entered the park, with its every corner
filled with jewels, whether spectacular or discrete, it has been a breathtaking
wonderment. From the surprisingly warm water of a bright green clear water
creek to the steamy wind carrying sulphur scents that comes in wrapping bursts,
from bison herds gathering at sunset in the majestic Hayden valley, to the
still silence of remote hidden lakes or the warmth of black basalt beaches, on
the first night there I couldn’t sleep haunted by too much beauty.
We were
also blessed to travel with our dearest friends Elena, Konstantin and Maxim and
share with them these precious moments.
While it
was obvious that any photographic attempt was pointless, of course, stupidly, I
took even more photos than usual. With the result that I still don’t know how
to handle these in a somewhat structured manner, and probably will bore you
here with endless series.
Exactly what I needed right now, dear Amélie! Natural, subdued colours which, somehow, many to knock you sideways too. Whilst on the beach in Brittany this summer my mother, an artist, was gathering stones, shells and exclaiming about the beauty of the myriads of colours present in one stone. I'll admit, I couldn't quite see them at first but, like the starry sky at night, the more you gaze, the more you see.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I meant to write: 'which manage to knock you sideways too'.
RépondreSupprimerSo, so beautiful! I have been to the park twice and it is an amazing place. I don't think you could be boring, even if you tried. XO'S
