Description
Yellowstone National Park
There are signs everywhere telling you not to walk on this surface. Not just so you won't mess up the natural wonders of the park, but because people have fallen through the thin crust and died.

super scape
whoa, this is splendid, what a beautiful shot!
I love the colors here. I can understand why some people may want to get closer.
I was surprised to see the buffalo walking around the very acidic water
Marvelous capture with a great sense of image composition that give to this shot the idea to be on Mars !!
I too can see why it may be tempting. Great patterns.
bien vu
Fabulous! I love all the colors and textures. This must have been a wondrous thing to see!
Wow, it's lovely, but I don't think I'd be tempted to get too close!
Super capture!!
AW!! But it is so very beautiful and a great shot.
I would heed the warning but must say it looks tempting !! Looks acidic too.
Beautiful shot! The different steps are very clearly visible as are the colors. What was the surrounding temperature like? Hot? Humid? Or average day out doors? Keep up the good work! :-)
Wow! Striking and beautiful but also scary.
Amazing capture Tara. God bless.
It always amazes me that people have to be told not to walk out into an area where everyplace you look are steaming fissures and fumeroles, and deep pools of beyond scalding hot water.. Duh.....
A great shot of the steamy and colorful pool, Tara!
This looks like the geyser basin - just a mind-blowing section of the park, which is mind-blowing anyway. It's all here... Volcanic activity, plains filled with wildlife, forests, canyons, lakes, waterfalls.. Sheesh, now I want to go back!
this is wonderful
wonderful
fabulous capture, Tara! love the pastel warm-cool gradient
Beautiful capture Tara. I like the composition very much.
Great curbs and colors !
Yeah, definitely not a great place to walk! You captured this as a long sheet of an aerial view of a coastline. Love the layering and the move from deep browns to beiges and whites, to water-blues. And the light smoke. And the division of the image in halves, with the reddish part spilling over into the bluer part. A sensitive geological capture, with all those lines and hues jutting into each other. And something very cooling about the water, even though it might be wholly uninhabitable. A very fine shot of geology at its most dramatic. A really fine crop too: Without that branch on top, we could be looking at a whole country's shoreline. Natural forms repeat themselves amazingly, don't they? Beautiful piece, Tara.
