Spring Heat

Sunset at the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park.

 

The fiery colors of the setting sun match the near boiling temperatures of the spring water releasing steam that dances across the surface of the mat with the breeze.

 

About 90 minutes before this I was chatting with another amateur photographer who asked where I thought the best sunset might be, and I pointed him south toward the Tetons to catch the colors illuminated on the peaks (where I'd been the previous evening). I wish I had his contact info to apologize. This turned out to be far more spectacular than I imagined possible.
