Mammoth Hot Spring's Canary Spring as seen from Yellowstone's Grand Loop Road. The alkaline flow feeds cyanobacteria which thrive in such environments, creating the mix of colors.
In case you wondered, Mammoth Hot Springs deposits about 2 tons of calcium carbonate or travertine limestone per day.

Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated!
