This little water stream contains the hot water that we use to heat our houses. The hot water runs thought our houses and the rest that is not uses ends up for example in this little stream. Therefore, this fog is human made.

In the time of the coronavirus pandemic the Viennese have this tourist hotspot to themselves. The gentleman seems to be very much interested in Erwin Wurm's hot-water bottle called 'Big Mutter'.
Not as bad as it looks, it's mostly treated and cleaned evaporation from an incineration plant/district heathing plant.
Boiler controls and hot water tank going in before the cupboard for them is made and electric sockets and flooring etc coming out. A spare bedroom days before seen during the conversion to a bathroom.

The upper terraces at Canary Springs which is part of Mammoth Hot Springs are composed of calcium carbonate. The terraces are colored by orange, yellows and cream colored thermophilic organisms. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.

#FillTheFrame!
Width of the frame: 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches
Please press "Z" (double-zoom recommended) :-)
Last night, I debated with myself whether I fell short of the "Fill the Frame" theme or not. I have not arranged similar-looking things within the frame, and there are some parts of the image that look like free space, but actually aren't, because all of what you see is the surface of an agate "worry stone", the same that I'd captured for the "Patterns in Nature" theme back in July 2019 (please see first comment). So this frame is entirely filled with agate. And especially this agate is full of those fascinating "macro secrets", which is why I keep returning to it for yet another capture. Well, and since I like the outcome, I've decided to risk to add it to the MM group pool ;-) While my photo for "Patterns in Nature" reminded me of storms on Jupiter, this part of the agate to me actually looks like a volcanic deepsea scene, and those super tiny wick-, or even worm-like (giant tube worms! Please see the quote from Wikipedia below) looking "pipes" reminded me of hydrothermal vents (also know as black or white smokers) found around submarine volcanic activity, while those floret-shaped rings all around those "pipes" remind me of some quite intense hot water / lava bubble action ;-)
Here is some very interesting background info on the "smokers" that I'd rather quote (Wikipedia): "Relative to the majority of the deep sea, the areas around submarine hydrothermal vents are biologically more productive, often hosting complex communities fueled by the chemicals dissolved in the vent fluids. Chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea form the base of the food chain, supporting diverse organisms, including giant tube worms, clams, limpets and shrimp. Active hydrothermal vents are thought to exist on Jupiter's moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Enceladus, and it is speculated that ancient hydrothermal vents once existed on Mars."
Like my "Jupiter Weather Report" photo this is a backlit, in-camera focus stack, and I used my Kenko extension tubes (this time the 16 mm extension tube only) and the Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro close-up lens to get closer to the subject. Sharpening and de-noising done in Topaz Sharpen AI and processed in LR and ON1 Photo Raw where I applied the "Natural" HDR filter - ON1's jack of all trades -, and the LUT filters "Keen" and "1975" (each filter with some individual tweaking and sliding).
A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, and Happy Pentecost Monday to the Flickr friends who celebrate Pentecost :-) !
The upper terraces at Canary Springs which are part of Mammoth Hot Springs are composed of calcium carbonate. The chalky white and gray colors show where there is no current hot springs flow or terrace building. Active terraces are colored by orange, yellows and cream colors caused by thermophilic organisms. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.
Thermal features at Mammoth hot springs are always changing. Activity moves from place to place and active terraces grow quickly. Dead trees mark areas that were once vegetated before the springs moved on to it. Some features dry up while others appear or reactivate. Even with these changes the overall activity of the entire area and the volume of water discharge remain relatively constant.

At a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade, the water shoots out of the rock. Huge columns of smoke rise into the sky.

It's easy to see how this geyser got it's name, all it needs is a couple of clownfish nestled into the "bumps".
Why we have an old hot water bottle stopper in our junk drawer neither of us knows but it’s possibly the most mundane item I could find in there to give a dramatic look too!
Formazioni calcaree a Bagni San Filippo.
Ci troviamo in Toscana ed esattamente in Provincia di Siena alle pendici del monte Amiata. In questa piccola località si trovano, oltre al complesso termale tradizionale, delle magnifiche piscine naturali con cascatelle di acqua a 40°, il tutto immerso nel bosco. Al centro di questa piccola valle si erge la "balena bianca", un imponente struttura calcarea formatasi nel tempo con i sedimenti delle acque. Consiglio vivamente a tutti, se passate da queste parti, di fare una visita ed un salutare bagnetto.
Noted this small geyser as it spurts some of its steam and water. Interesting to see the mineral deposits that it releases along with the steam.
Mammoth Hot Springs are the main attraction of the Mammoth District. These features are quite different from thermal areas elsewhere in the park. Travertine formations grow much more rapidly than sinter formations due to the softer nature of limestone. As hot water rises through limestone, large quantities of rock are dissolved by the hot water, and a white chalky mineral is deposited on the surface.

In hindsight, I wonder what these three kettles stood on the grill for. To fire extinguishing they are a little too small and unwieldy. But obviously nobody drank tea here in the beach bar ;-)

Ich frage mich im Nachhinein, wofür diese drei Wasserkessel dort auf dem Grill standen. Zum Feuerlöschen sind sie ein wenig zu klein und unhandlich. Aber Tee hat hier in der Strandbar offensichtlich keiner getrunken ;-)

Steam rises from fumaroles at Seltúnshverir on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. This thermal area lies Just off the road to Krýsuvík at Seltún. The solfatara field contains fumeroles, hot springs, mud pools and steaming ground. Fumeroles are the dominate thermal feature and deposit sulfur and sulphates on the ground near the vents. Fumeroles whose steam is rich in sulpur are called solfataras. The main sulphur aree is a fumerole field that lies southwest of the boardwalk at Seltún but sulphur and sulphates are found in at least small amounts around most of the steam vents, mud pools and acidic hot springs. Yellow patches on the ground were visible to us as we strolled along the boardwalk.
Seltún is part of the large Krýsuvík Geothermal field which lies on one of the NE-SW trending volcanic systems that cross the Reykjanes Peninsula. in Iceland. The volcanic zones lie in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and are visible along the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and is visible along the south of Reykjanes.
In the mid-20th century there were plans to develop the geothermal field for utilisation, including power production, and Seltún then became one of the main drilling targets. There are old drill pads to be seen near the path along the creek. According to the Iceland Geosurvey (ISOR) one of the "boreholes started erupting intermittently in the winter of 2010". They reported that an interval of a few days between the eruptions. We found the spot but on two different visits to the field I saw no sign of geyser activity. ISOR also reports "another old borehole blew up in 1999 forming a crater with a diameter of about 30 m, now filled by mud except where a flow of steam keeps boiling pits open". That unexpected explosion in 1999 reportly caused the geothermal project to be halted. The springs have been preserved due to the lack of drilling and geothermal exploitation.
Temperatures are over 200 degrees C just below the suface. Geologist from the Iceland Geosurvey believe "the water of the pools is surface water heated by steam from a boiling geothermal reservoir. Accompanying gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide acidify the water and alter the rock to clay. Only the uppermost 300 m of the reservoir at Seltún is boiling, i.e., follows the boiling curve in accordance with increasing pressure. Below this depth, a temperature inversion occurs, indicating that the boiling section is fed laterally from an upflow some distance away."

Strokkur, arguably Iceland's most visited geysir- and for this very reason it's usually really hard to find a tourist-free spot to take pictures...
Being there in winter certainly helps. ;-)
The upper terraces at Canary Springs, which is part of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, appear perched on the edge of a hill. The terraces, composed of calcium carbonate, cover the hillside. The chalky white colors show where there is no current hot springs flow or terrace building. Active terraces are orange, yellows and cream in color. The coloris due to thermophilic organisms growing in the water such as cyanobacteria and bacteria. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces.

Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest, oldest, and most dynamic of Yellowstone's thermal areas. The highest temperature yet recorded in any geothermal area in Yellowstone was measured in a scientific drill hole at Norris: 459°F (237°C) just 1,087 feet (326 meters) below the surface! There are very few thermal features at Norris under the boiling point (199°F at this elevation).
Norris shows evidence of having had thermal features for at least 115,000 years. The features in the basin change daily, with frequent disturbances from seismic activity and water fluctuations. The vast majority of the waters at Norris are acidic, including acid geysers which are very rare. Steamboat Geyser, the tallest geyser in the world at 300–400 feet (91–122 m) and Echinus Geyser (pH 3.5 or so) are the most popular features.
The basin consists of two areas: Porcelain Basin and the Back Basin. Porcelain Basin is barren of trees and provides a sensory experience in sound, color, and smell; a 3/4-mile (1.2-km) bare ground and boardwalk trail accesses this area. Back Basin is more heavily wooded with features scattered throughout the area. A 1.5-mile (2.4-km) trail of boardwalks and bare ground encircles this part of the basin.

It My New Barn!!!!!!!!!
I have waited 8 years to get my barn and move my horses to my property. Well, there was always something more pressing than this(acording to my husband). It has just taken time to be in the position to be able to build this bard. l will post photos as it is being built, it should take a bout 3 weeks. Now, I have to get the fence finished(I have had to do that in pieces also) and get the pasture bush hogged!!!!!!
I am so Excited!
Everyone is invited to a big barn part when it is done!
