Pulpit terrace printThis is a really neat image. This is Pulpit Terrace, part of Yellowstone’s Mammoth Hot Springs named because it looks so much like a preacher’s pulpit from the side that you can find old photographs of people standing behind it and looking like they’re preaching (see our twitter page below). This image shows it as it appeared in 1898, but it’s not a photograph.This is a photomechanical print, a printing of an area based on a photographic negative. The color in the shot may reflect a bit of artistic expression, but this is still a pretty neat, color look at how a terrace in Yellowstone could have appeared before the advent of color photography, and what the rocks of Mammoth Hot Springs looked like before large numbers of visitors affected the landscape.-JBBImage credit: Photochrom Co/Library of Congresshttp://www.loc.gov/item/2008678251/More:https://twitter.com/TheEarthStory/status/639507092487958528 -- source link
