Yellowstone Colors
Another example of some the impressive natural colors on display in Yellowstone National Park.
This is West Geyser Basin's Black Pool runoff as it flows into Yellowstone Lake. A pic of the Black Pool in comments.
"The misty pool has vibrant blue water today, but prior to hydrothermal activity in 1991, the pool was much cooler and hospitable to black and brown thermophiles. Thermophiles are microorganisms that love heat. They are responsible for the vivid colors in Yellowstone’s hydrothermal features. Yellow marks the hottest pools, while greens and blues mark pools that are usually below 140 degrees Fahrenheit."
