"Yellowstone" at Westover Library, Arlington, Virginia, August 15 - September 30, 2017

Curated by Greg Embree, this was DJ Choupin's first curated show, which transferred to the Westover Library after 3 months on exhibit at the Cherrydale Library. The website cherrydalelibrary.org said "Cherrydale Library's current photo exhibit includes some spectacular wintertime photographs of sections of Yellowstone National Park accessible only by snowmobile." Mr. Embree also made art-quality prints of the included photos, which he matted and framed. His captions for this curated show add interest and context to the photos.

Cold Pool

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Yellowstone was -66 degrees F. in 1933. Daytime winter temperatures in the park normally range between zero and 20 degrees F. Nighttime temperatures drop below 0 degrees F.
---Greg Embree, curator

"You would have a hard time finding a more tranquil spot in Yellowstone in winter than this pool of water alongside the ski trail between the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Lone Star Geyser. Pay attention, though, because sometimes there is a bison lurking just below the stream bank."
---DJ Choupin

The Yellowstone Park bison herd is believed to be one of only four free roaming and genetically pure herds on public lands in North America. The other three herds are the Henry Mountains bison herd of Utah, at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota, and in Elk Island National Park in Alberta.<br />
---Greg Embree, curator<br />

"Looking at a buffalo nickel or a picture of a bison, or even looking at them in person, they can appear quite tame, since they don't (usually) move that fast in winter. Don't be fooled. They are conserving their energy. This one seemed to have plenty of energy in his gaze!"<br />
