This beautiful geyser lasts for twenty minutes and one can choose many angles to shoot from as it goes on and on.
A second shot with the Old Faithful Inn in the background. More of a reflection shot as well.

There has been one sale of this image. In November 2008 this image was featured in the group, Buyers R Us. In February 2009, this image placed third in the U.S. Parks Wildlife Shots challenge hosted by the AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat group. A thousand Yellowstone wonders are calling, ‘Look up and down and round about you! John Muir – 1898 The temperatures were in the single digits on this cold, snowy January morning at West Thumb Geyser Basin, which is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone. A incredibly scenic area along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb only has a small amount of geyser activity. However, the basin more than makes up for it with its diversity. Despite its small size, it has paint/mud pots, hot springs, pools, lake shore geysers, and fumaroles. Fumaroles are small openings that release steam and other gasses. You can see in the foreground the muddy, soupy waters inundating the paint pots. The white area beyond the tree line in the right hand side of the photograph is Yellowstone Lake. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This is an abstract image taken at the edge of a thermal spring in the West Thumb geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. While the image appears to not contain any living thing, the colors themselves are in fact a product of the microscopic organisms called Thermophiles which thrive at extremely high temperatures. When visiting Yellowstone, you will see different veins of colors surrounding the fumaroles, geysers and thermal pools. The various colors in these mats are different types of Thermophiles which thrive at specific temperatures or have preferences for alkaline, acidic, or sulphiric enviroments. The enviroment determines the type of Thermophile that lives there and this diversity creates the colors you see. The color in this image is exactly as it was taken by my camera. It is not a macro image. At the top right, the turquoise color is the very edge of the thermal pool, the white border is mineral deposits and the brown and yellow and orange colors are the Thermophile living in a mat surrounding the pool. / This image has sold as a laminated print and a matted print 3 times through RedBubble. /
Thermal features of the West Thumb Geyser Basin in winter, Yellowstone National Park. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 18-200VR lens Featured in AMERICA’s National Parks and Wildlife Habitat. And I was lucky enough to have this posted on National Geographic’s web site!!!! Woo Hoo!
Yellowstone is full of cool thermal features with amazing colors, and the mountain weather is something else. Sort of sweeps in, drops a load of water, and moves right out again. I loved going there this summer. HDR of three exposures.
My nephew went to Yellowstone over the weekend and asked me to play with some of his pictures. This is what I came up with.

Normally you do not get a good view of this pool. I was given a tip to hike up to a near by hill. Doing so enabled me to take this photo. The mist rising from the pool actually took on the color of the pool which you can see on the left side. This is truly one of the highlights of Yellowstone NP.

An old (RAW) image ("not THAT one AGAIN!") that I finally had a chance (with some guidance, thanks Ramona!) to play with & tidy up properly in PhotoShop recently… It’s Sunday morning here, been raining a lot lately, nothing new to upload this week, so I’m mentally revisiting, & getting lost in, Iceland, again… To see my Set "Lost in Iceland" click here
i was invited to join a project with a friend called recycled art... what you do is buy a starbuck’s coffee, and draw on the cup once you’re done… i haven’t bought a starbuck’s coffee in a looooooong time… but i thought, why not?? it sounds like fun (i’ll stick to 1 cup a week, too costly), so i drew a robot on the cup… well, i fell in love with the robot so much, that i put the cup on hold to make a print of it X)... i slaved all day and night on this yesterday, so it’s a birthday present to me =D (which was yesterday)...

Waking up early always pays off in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. / West Thumb is among the most scenic of the park’s geyser basins but it’s also the smallest. For its size, however, West Thumb posseses a whole range of features including hot springs, pools, mud pots, fumaroles and geysers.

A buffalo trying to cross the hot geyser area in Yellowstone NP and wanting to come on the boardwalk!! I don’t think so! / Most were lying sprawled out while the steam issued around them – the ground was encrusted and hot – obviously perfect for their sunbathing !!

Walkway in Yellowstone National Park late in the year. The steam you see is caused by the pools combined with the cold chill of morning. “This is the path I have chosen, no matter what circumstances may come, no matter how hard it is, no matter what I feel inside, I must stay on the path.”
