A plethora of tones, textures and shapes - the Mammoth Springs site in Yellowstone Wyoming, USA.
It was formed by drying calcium deposits (carbonate) with wonderful crystal like glisten.
(Never saw any Wooly Mammoths . but Happy Mammoth Monday!)

Mammoth Springs in Yellowstone NP -its was a good cool morning so the chemical reactions and heat were steaming away. To me this site has a wonderful mysterious appeal!
Nel cuore dello Yellowstone n.p. - Una colata di calcare ha disegnato nei secoli una struttura fantastica, quasi una cattedrale in alabastro.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming." Mineral-laden hot water from deep beneath the Earth's crust finds its way to the surface and builds tier upon tier of cascading, terraced stone. Begun thousands of years ago, the sculpting of the terraces continues as thousands of gallons of water well up and deposit large amounts of travertine daily." (info from Yellowstone National Park guide to the parks).
A6-EOM, an Airbus A380-861, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as UAE241 (Emirates Airline) from Dubai, United Arab Emirates and was wearing the special United for Wildlife livery.
I captured this image looking East across Crowley Lake to White Mountain Peak on the right and Mt. Dubois on the left just outside Mammoth CA.
Das Mammutblatt (Gunnera manicata) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung Gunnera innerhalb der Ordnung der Gunnerales. Sie wird auch Riesen-Rhabarber genannt, da die Wuchsform Ähnlichkeit mit dem Rhabarber (Rheum rhabarbarum) aufweist, sie ist jedoch nicht verwandt mit diesem. Bei den in Chile vorkommenden Arten wird allerdings der Stiel geschält und wie Rhabarber gegessen.
Yellowstone National Park is filled with otherworldly views; this is Mammoth Hot Springs with its travertine terraces, underwater formations, thermophiles, dead trees and reflections.
Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Four knights encounter a terrible monster they thought belonged only to the past!
But the monstrous mammoth is not alone. The knights appear to have trod accidentally into an ancient ice kingdom almost frozen in time, a kingdom of the East, determined to protect itself from outsiders. Who will immerge from the encounter victorious? And whose bones will remain in the blizzard, to be lost forever to the snow, the wind, and the ice...
Hey guys, this is my entry to Brickscalibur's Monstrous Encounter category, which I collaborated a little with my sister on. Hope you like it :) .
Winter is coming! October 1st overnight snow lingers at 10,000 feet near Mammoth Mountain. When you are on a mountain bike ride without your camera, you do the best you can with your iPhone.
Mammoth Lakes Basin, Cold Water Creek.
Emerald Lake is an easy 1.5-mile trail that starts out of the Coldwater Creek Campground and is an out-and-back type trail.
Pictured is the skeleton of a male Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi ) that was buried and preserved in mud during a flood between 65,000 and 72,000 years ago. Mammoths are now an extinct species but flourished in Texas and other places in North America during what geologist call the Pleistocene Epoch. Between 1978 and 1997, Twenty-two mammoths were unearthed at what is now Waco Mammoth National Monument. Most of the specimens found since 1990 are in situ (still in their original position within the bone bed). These specimens, like the one pictured, are protected in a climate-controlled Dig Shelter that allows for both public viewing and further scientific study.
The Mammoth pools were in the devastating Creek Fire in September of 2020. I was amazed at how scarred this entire area was from the fire, 45,500 acres burned. The good news is I did see new growth sprouting up out of the land. There are several campgrounds around this reservoir. The fire was so fast that many campers were not able to evacuate ending up waiting for help by going into the water to avoid the fire. 224 campers were rescued by helicopter and taken to safety.
this thing is actually bright yellow and almost cheerful in appearance, sometimes I can' t help myself.... Happy Truck Thursday!
