Roosevelt Arch

[Steve Robinson]

I played a little hooky between remodeling the house and putting it on the market this summer. I went to the Park for a few days at the end of September to attend a photography class. I go to the classes to get away from just shooting solo. The Yellowstone Association classes are a lot less expensive than other types of guided photo tours and I always learn something new as well. This is the Roosevelt Arch was dedicated by Teddy in 1903. Taken just after sunrise with a Pentax K20D and DA 35mm f/2.8 Limited.

Hi, Steve,

Ah, the Park. Was it any particular park?

Beautiful shots.

Ah, sorry Doug, it's Yellowstone. Sometimes I forget that only we locals call it "The Park."

Hi Steve,

That's an impressive construction in an impressive surroundings. You've caught it well.
Is it just a monument, an entrance gate, or does it have an other function as well?

Cheers,
Bart

At one time it was the only entrance into Yellowstone. Travelers would get there by train and then be taken through the arch by horse drawn coaches and wagons and on into the Park. Today it is a monument and many visitors like to have their pictures taken by it as momentos of their trip.

Well see, if you lived in Kalispell, 'The Park' would be Glacier...

Very true Duke! I suppose in Manhattan (NY not MT) 'The Park' would be Central!

...and it'd be covered in graffiti!
Great shot Steve, thanks for sharing
