Black Sand Basin (Yellowstone National Park), an isolated group of the Upper Geyser Basin, was originally named the Emerald Group by A.C. Peale in 1878. But turn of the century tourists began calling it Black Sand Basin because of the small fragments of black obsidian sand which cover portions of the basin.
Black Sand Basin contains a small collection of jewel-like geysers, and colorful hot springs. Emerald Pool is the most colorful and famous of these springs. It is a deep emerald green fringed by an outer ring of yellow and orange. Another colorful pool is Opalescent Pool. This recently formed pool inundated a stand of lodgepole pine, creating a stand of white skeletons amidst a rainbow-colored pool. An unusual geyser formed on the bank of Iron Creek. Cliff Geyser formed a rim or wall-like ridge of sinter around its crater from which it erupts 30 to 40 feet high.

I was staying at my daughter's in Norfolk having fun with my grandchildren, but decided to sneak off and do some creative work on the sly, after finding a glass crystal like prism, I put it in front of my lens and these shots are the result! This is from her bar. Edited in PSE7
I've never been on a cruise ship and it's not on my must-do list but I was stunned at the size of this one - it was a good 100' longer than any other one that docked in Papeete while I was there. I talked to a couple that were traveling on the ship and there were 2650 passengers. The ship's displacement is 116,000 tons.
