Allure of Yellowstone National Park - Fascinating Waterways CD
 
This rare and fascinating CD contains over 800 stunning images of the streams, rivers, lakes and waterfalls that adorn Yellowstone National Park.

Geologists attribute the creation of one of the world’s most frequented natural wonders - the alluring Yellowstone National Park to an earth-shaking event that occurred long before any human history was recorded. This volcanic eruption, which was many times more powerful than the recent eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, is thought to have shaped the fascinating topography that draws millions of visitors to the park each year.
 

A tourist’s delight, the park is blessed with an abundance of water, which adorns the park in its many forms - in gurgling streams, surging rivers, placid lakes, and fascinating waterfalls.

Yellowstone’s identity as a National Park was established in 1872, when President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law declaring that Yellowstone would forever be "dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people".

This CD is a compilation of 846 strikingly beautiful digitalized photographs that capture the splendor of the streams, rivers, lakes and waterfalls that add to the magnetism of the park.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

Seldom is the magnificence of Yellowstone captured by the camera in as compelling a manner as you will witness on this glorious CD. To say that Yellowstone is one of the most charming places on earth would be an understatement, and the brilliant images of the Park’s fascinating waterways explain why the park is so alluring.

The splendid snapshots of the Park’s many rivers, streams and lakes that you will witness in this CD, are characterized by sharp focus, artistic insight and crystal clear clarity, and serve as an outstanding travelogue for the enchanting Yellowstone National Park.

Mesmerizing vistas of the deep and colorful canyons that the park’s rivers have crafted out of granite over centuries, placid lakes that shimmer like jewels in the glorious sunlight, swift rivers that cut across the park’s lush meadows and magnificent waterfalls that cascade over scenic rock formations are captured in the most thrilling manner. Particularly fascinating are the glorious sunsets, which accentuate the splendor of the park’s waterways and the marvelous images of the park when it wears a garb of sparkling ice and snow in winter.

I spent an enchanting hour soaking up the magnificence of Yellowstone’s waterways, and was rewarded by a sense of delightful detachment from the humdrum of life’s routines. I have no doubts that anybody who chooses to own and examine this rare and unique CD will share my sentiments.
