Serendipity

The entire Yellowstone National Park is one of the most serendipitious region that we have ever visited or witnessed. You'd be drivng or walking in a nature reserve, which would yes of course be peaceful & beautiful, but suddenly you'd turn a corner to a jaw dropping, absolute stunner of a natural wonder that you'd be hard pressed to imagine even in your wildest of dreams.

 

As you drive unawares through the West Thumb region & it's camouflaged driveway to a non descript Plain Jane parking lot of the Blue Funnel Spring, you are absolutely unaware of the surprise awaiting you. You loiter slowly through the walkway & "Ka-Boom!"

 

You are standing in front of this absolute Gem of a hissing, sizzling hot water spring called the Blue Funnel Spring. The water body in the background is the huge Yellowstone Lake. The region has one of the most azure colored hot water springs, which contains various mineral particles that absorb all light wavelengths but reflect blue & hence the intense blue coloration.
