Time and Temperature
This location at Mammoth Springs in Yellowstone National Park was really captivating as the evening light set off the colors of the orange and white terraces and the deep rich tones of the lodge pole pines. The remnants of trees are reported to be as much as 2000 years old but remain standing, preserved by the mineral deposits that flowed up from the hot interior of the earth which remains active from volcanoes that created this wonderland after erupting 600,000+ years ago.

Dawne Olson replied
Thank you Christopher! The white looks like snow doesn’t it? So weird! Actually it is mineral deposits from a natural spring resulting from thermal activity beneath the earth’s crust.
