Stained-Glass Window to the Center of the Earth
The inimitable Grand Prismatic Spring at sunset in Yellowstone National Park.
I was fortunate enough to shoot this amazing scene from a number of angles as the sun set on a perfect June day. By this hour there are few tourists because, quite frankly, to the naked eye the colors are very muted. But with long exposures, the camera captures the brilliance with even greater contrast than is available during the height of the day.
With its mirror-like quality and the vibrant colors of the microbial mat, I could not help but envision this as a stained-glass window, worthy of any religious site.
