Excelsior Geyser Crater, Yellowstone National Park, 2010

Formerly a geyser, this crater is now a hot spring pouring boiling water into the Firehole River. This image puts the viewer virtually into the crater itself – it is so hot that a camera's lens will fog over in a matter of seconds.

The color is at the core of the idea here, Mo -- the rocks (red) play against the water (blue) in a contrast of primary colors.

Love the blue in this shot - it immediately grabs your attention.

Thanks, Iris, for noting the many aspects of this image that convey the magic of Yellowstone. It is place like nowhere else, so very special.

Color, texture, steam, dramatic skies......an image that expresses, to me, the magic of Yellowstone.
