Big Spring in Black and White

Big Spring is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Van Buren, Mo. The geologic wonder pumps out more than 280 million gallons of water daily. The area was once a part of Missouri's first state pars and was donated to the National Park Service in the 1970s. Now, the area includes the Big Spring Lodge restaurant and camping accomodations.

The Red Desert is a high altitude sagebrush steppe and dry landscape in southern Wyoming. Among the natural features in the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin, a unique drainage basin formed by a division in the Continental Divide. Today, busy Interstate 80 bisects the desert's southern region while gas field roads cross the desert.The Red Desert is a high altitude sagebrush steppe and dry landscape in southern Wyoming. Among the natural features in the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin, a unique drainage basin formed by a division in the Continental Divide. Today, busy Interstate 80 bisects the desert's southern region while gas field roads cross the desert. One of the unique locations of the Red Desert is Adobe Town. The colorful eroded badlands is a moonscape of rock formations in what is said to be the largest unfenced area in the Lower 48 states of the USA. The barren landscape is rarely visited and can receive only 12 inches of rain a year.

Dozens of lakes dot the high-alpine landscape of the Snowy Range Mountains near Laramie, Wyoming. Many of which are only a few feet deep, but provide a picturesque oasis below the Medicine Bow and Browns peaks. Water becomes more scare in the late summer, as some of the small ponds dry up before the winter snow season recharges the area once again.

Mammoth Hot Springs during the summer in Yellowstone National Park. The impressive hillside of travertine terraces are formed from limestone. Thermal water rises through the limestone, carrying high amounts of the calcium carbonate. At the surface, carbon dioxide is released and calcium carbonate is deposited, forming travertine, the chalky white mineral forming the terraces. The colorful stripes located on the terraces are formed by thermophiles, or heat-loving organisms.

Sunset in late winter at Laramie Peak, outside of Wheatland, Wyoming. Laramie Peak Is the highest and most prominent peak in the Laramie Range of Wyoming. With a peak elevation of 10,276 feet, it can be seen from great distances from both sides of the Laramie Range including from over 120 miles away at the top of the Scotts Bluff National Monument in Nebraska and in the Wyoming towns of Wheatland, Douglas, Rock River, and immediately outside of the cities of Laramie and Cheyenne. Started by lightning, the Arapaho Fire burned during the summer of 2012 and left most of the area with charred conifers. Photo by Kyle Spradley | © Kyle Spradley Photography | www.kspradleyphoto.com
