The Paint Pots
The Paint Pots are one of the most popular destinations for a hike in Kootenay NP, Canada. They are ochre mineral sources, an unusual geological phenomenon, once used as paint by the first inhabitants of this area.
Some trees in the background are dead: they will have been victims of the wildfire that raged here in 2003.
Still, I was highly impressed by the beauty of the area!
