The Shape of Cold
Yellowstone National Park
The sheer scale of Yellowstone in winter can be overwhelming. You're always looking for the bison or the steam from the geysers. But we pulled over for a moment, and the world just went silent. The air was so cold it felt sharp in my lungs. Looking down, I saw these simple, elegant curves in the snow right by the road. The light was incredibly soft, catching the subtle blues in the shadows. It wasn't a grand vista, just the quiet shape of the land under a deep blanket of snow. It’s these small moments of stillness that often stick with me the most.
