Canary Spring Terraces

A side view of the multilevel terraces that flow under Canary Springs, the largest spring at Mammoth Hot Springs. Canary Spring is named for its bright yellow colors.

 

The white sections are the travertine forms and the orange, yellowish, and brown colors are due to the cyanobacteria living in the springs. The water flowing down the face of the terrace has created multi-colored bands of algae and cyanobacteria.

 

My favorite painter: Nature.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
