~ I was lucky to take some nice shots on my vacation. I hope you will like them ...
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I wish all of you great vacation days, holidays or just lazy days, spent at home.
Fully seize those moments....

Here's a guessing game for you :)
I'm sure some will figure out what this is immediately, but I'd love to hear what you think it is.
Taken with my Pentacon AV and extension tube.
Well, most of you were right about the glass. It is a drinking glass with a striped coloured coaster underneath. I shot into the glass at an angle, and got the colourful reflections on the glass table. Thanks for playing along :)
It is the third largest source of thermal energy on earth. It is located in Yellowstone Nationalpark (USA)

Yellowstone, US
Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope.

The Midway Geyser Basin's Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the United States, approximately 370 feet in size and around 121 feet deep. Its rainbow waters are what really make it fascinating: While the center is blue, encircling with the deep reds, bright yellows and fiery oranges. The vivid colors in the spring are the result of microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green. Each ring creates a very different environment inhabited by different types of bacteria. And it's the different types of bacteria that give the spring its prismatic colors. The color of the bacteria is determined by the temperature of the water. The photo was taken around the edges of Prismatic Spring…

This is a view across Grand Prismatic Spring, a famous hot lake in one of the geyser fields in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. The blue lake is shrouded in steam and mist -- hope you enjoy!

A few years ago, we were in Yellowstone when this shot was taken. Mary and I will be going back there next week for our honeymoon :-).
Hiking the Fairy Falls trail to the Grand Prismatic Overlook one gets to see this spectacle of nature.
We had a bison on the trail as we were hiking up there that we had to be careful of. It’s always strange and sort of mesmerizing to see wildlife come out of nowhere and be so close to us in the wild. I had seen so many news stories and videos while researching the park about how insane people can get when visiting Yellowstone. Many people get hurt or worse yet killed when they don’t take wildlife seriously. They can also put the animals lives in danger.
How about those colors? Give the image a click to view it in larger detail. The width of the springs in relation to the people walking near plus the camper van parked in the scene.

.... located in Midway Geyser Basin, has the distinction of being the park’s largest hot spring. It measures approximately 370 feet (112.8 m) in diameter and is over 121 feet (37 m) deep. A description of this spring by fur trapper Osborne Russell in 1839 also makes it the earliest described thermal feature in Yellowstone that is definitely identifiable.
Sidenote: The most popular PoV for photographers is from the mountain in the backdrop.
Everywhere you look around the Grand Prismatic Spring there are interesting runoff patterns. Some day I'd like to be one of the lucky few to photograph this feature from the air which provides the most spectacular view.

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world, after Frying Pan Lake in New Zealand and Boiling Lake in Dominica. It is located in the Midway Geyser Basin. Wikipedia

THE GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING IN YELLOWSTONE IS THE LARGEST HOT SPRING IN THE U.S. AND THE 3RD LARGEST IN THE WORLD. THE VIVID COLORS OF THE RAINBOW ARE THE RESULT OF MICROBIAL MATS.
Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers - a living prismatic gem.... it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description.

I burned an entire 4-gig card here. The compositions were endless, but I'll just share two.
...in my defense, I shot full rez RAW, so that was only 120ish photos... :)
Sea cliffs expose the volcanic rocks at Ponta do Mistério which is located between the villages of Agualava and Quarto Ribeiras on the Island of Terceira in the Azores. Here, columnar basalt (basalt that exhibits columnar or prismatic jointing) is overlain by tuffaceous breccia. The colums are visible in this picture at the base of the cliff along the shoreline. Columnar jointing is produced by cooling of lava flows, ash-flow tuffs, and other bodies of magma or lava. It is particularly common in basaltic lava flows. Cooling causes contraction which in turn causes fracturing. Fractures propagate from the top and bottom of flows inward towards the center These rocks are part of the volcanic complex associated with the Pico Alto volcano. In the Azores, the word, mistério means a lava flow. The direct translation of the word mistério in Portuguese means mystery. During the settlement of the islands in the 1400 and 1500’s, the Portuguese from the mainland were unfamiliar with volcanic activity. The fiery flows of molten rock that occasionally destroyed homes and lives were indeed a mystery to them.
