Frozen Yellowstone River Morning

View more photos like this: Sunrise, Montana

This image has always been a favorite of mine. I woke up in the middle of the night to drive down to Yellowstone for sunrise. Unfortunately, I got stuck behind a wicked slow farm truck while driving through the Paradise Valley. I knew I would miss sunrise if I kept driving. I pulled off the road at a sign for “Mallards Rest Campground” and walked down to the river bank to check out the large ice floes. It ended up being a fantastic morning - bitterly cold and clear with a brilliant yellow sunrise lighting up the ice clinging to every tree and shrub along the riverbank. The riverbanks were totally silent except for the whispering of the ice hitting the stones on the side of the river. Except for the farm truck, I never would have watched the sunrise from this location.

I print note cards in my studio on Cape Cod and hand sign the back of the card. You can choose between Matte and River Linen cardstock. Each card comes with a white envelope.

• River Linen paper: My personal favorite - the linen textured paper surface adds an elegant finish while preserving details.
• Matte paper: Non-reflective, smooth, and bright white surface focuses attention on the details of the print.

My personal favorite - the image is printed onto a high-quality art canvas, coated with a protective acrylic finish, and stretched onto a 1.25” frame. Canvases include mounting hardware and are ready to hang in your home.

I use 100% cotton acid- and lignin-free fine art paper with archival inks to produce a giclee print. These are museum quality prints that will last for decades without fading. If you would like information about matting or framing a print, please use my contact form to get in touch with me.

The photograph is printed onto a specially coated sheet of aluminum using dye infusion. This brings out a stunning amount of color and clarity and is perfect for photos with lots of color and contrast. The final print includes a hanger which floats your print half an inch off the wall.
