Sapphire Pool, one of the prettiest in Yellowstone, settled down to its placid former self after a violent episode in 1959. The Hebgen Lake earthquake turned the placid clear pool into a powerful, muddy geyser for years afterward. T. Scott Bryan writes,
"No spring in Yellowstone was more greatly affected by the 1959 earthquake than Sapphire. The day after the shocks the crater was filled with muddy water, constantly boiling with vigor. Four weeks later Sapphire began having tremendous eruptions. Fully 125 high and almost equally as wide, these eruptions were among the most powerful ever known in Yellowstone. At first, the intervals were as short as two hours, and each play lasted five minutes."
The eruptions enlarged the pool by several feet, destroying the geyserite "biscuits" around its crater that had given Biscuit Basin its name. Over time the eruptions became less intense and frequent. By 1971 all the muddiness was gone, and Sapphire again regained its pristine aqua color, as you see it today.
Change is the only constant in Yellowstone's hot springs. Just 100 yards to the east of Sapphire Pool (out of frame to the right of the photo) is an area where explosions have created and altered springs and geysers in the decades following 1902. Explosions as recent as 2006-2008 threw rocks and debris as far as 50 feet. Remnants of these explosions are visible from the boardwalk as you walk to Sapphire Pool. Geologists are keeping an eye on the area (see next photo of Black Opal Pool).

Been too work busy to post on flickr... almost cleared the decks so I can get back to posting again... as ever starting with a 7DOS shot... a real oldie but it gets me back at the table... not had a holiday this year so if I was thinking dolce vita it might be lying by a pool getting some vitamin D... and a cold beer. Maybe next year.

In the smallest village in Tibet, we always found several pool tables and very often someone was playing.
This was quite unexpected.
