"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.

On the Road

Bison once numbered between 30 and 60 million individuals throughout North America. Yellowstone remains one of their last strongholds. Their populations increased from fewer than 50 in the park in 1902 to over 4,000 by 2003. The Yellowstone Park bison herd reached a peak in 2005, with some 4,900 animals.

"This was taken from a classic Bombardier snow coach on the road to the south entrance of Yellowstone in winter. The year before they invented the snowmobile, Bombardier created the snow coach, which is "mass transit" for over-the-snow travel. They are still used as school buses in rural parts of Canada."
