This is obviously not the stereotypical sun-parched summer day in Death Valley. Snow dots the ground amid a field of cacti along the dead-end road to a playa known as the "Racetrack," a dry lakebed known for its rocks that mysteriously move, from time to time, along the surface

In this fairly rare antithetical view of a parched summer day in Death Valley, December snow has brushed a mountainside above a field of cacti in that remote California national park
Sunset in South Pass, the most-traveled and most-trusted low valley (two nearby valleys, actually) through the fearsome Rocky Mountains for 19th-Century westward emigrants on the Oregon, Mormon, and California trails, which followed much the same route to this point and beyond before diverging, as well as Pony Express riders

Yellowstone National Park in the northwest corner of Wyoming, small additional park acreage also spills into neighboring Idaho and Montana, is closed to motor traffic except snomobiles and snow coaches with tanklike treads, and those are restricted to roadways. Heavier blankets of snow are equally common in the park's bitter wintertime, posing a survival hazard for wildlife

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/)
