Tequila Sunset

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The fire had caused havoc in the North of the park most of the day with road closures, unsafe areas and Ranger warnings. The ever growing smoke tower a constant reminder of who was really in charge of the park. We hung out at Old Faithful Lodge playing Moose Farkle and drinking Margaritas (bored of beers and feeling flashy) waiting for roads to re-open so we could make it onto our next stop, but had been forced to change plans. Driving back to camp, we tried to find a decent vantage point to photograph the mushrooming marshmallow monster. The reflection in the water jumped out at me as we sped past, and we made a skiddy stop in the gravelly roadside. Shot in low light- AV mode, I wish I'd thought more about this one, but maybe it was the Margaritas tequila-ing my shot and the fact I was so blown away with the location... I did the best I could with what I had.
