"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.

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.

"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
Note: Artists contribute 20% of sales made during their exhibit to the Friends of the Arlington County Library, to help support Library programming.
