Trees get a white winter glaze in Yellowstone National Park in the northwest corner of Wyoming. (Small additional park acreage also spills into neighboring Idaho and Montana.) Heavier blankets of snow are equally common in the park's bitter wintertime, posing a survival hazard for wildlife

Summary
Title, date, and keywords provided by the photographer.
An anomalous attraction in Death Valley, it is removed from most of the park in its far-northern reaches near the Nevada border. Death Valley Ranch, as this elegant home is properly known, is a window into the life and times of the Roaring 1920s and Depression '30s. It was built in the early 1920s by Chicago millionaire Albert Mussey Johnson as a vacation getaway.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
