In 2006 I had two times the opportunity to migrate into the valley of the Havasupai Indians and see this magnificent waterfall and take pictures of course. Unfortunately, destroyed a flood in 2008 a part of the beautiful lime sinter terraces .
The Havasupai Indians are also called "the people of the blue-green water". Blue-green has been the water the day before. In the night, however, it had rained heavily in the mountains, so that in the early morning a red-brown muddy broth rolled into the valley, probably a not-often-seen drama.
Unfortunately, a strong wind blew, so a fine spray of dirty water dyed everything including the camera.
In 2006 hatte ich zwei mal die Gelegenheit, in das Tal der Havasupai Indianer zu wandern und diesen großartigen Wasserfall zu sehen und natürlich zu fotografieren. Leider zerstörte eine Flut im Jahr 2008 einen Teil der schönen Kalk-Sinter-Terrassen.
Die Havasupai Indianer werden auch "die Leute vom blaugrünen Wasser" genannt. Blau-grün ist das Wasser auch am Tag vorher gewesen. In der Nacht hatte es jedoch in den Bergen stark geregnet, so dass sich am frühen Morgen überraschend eine rot-braune schlammige Brühe in das Tal wälzte, vermutlich ein nicht oft gesehenes Schauspiel.
Leider wehte ein starker Wind, weshalb sich ein feiner Sprühnebel des schmutzigen Wassers auf alles einschliesslich der Kamera legte.

The fountain "Fontana della Sirenetta - Mignon" on the Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi.
The statue Sirenetta (roughly: "Little Mermaid") is made from bronze and was created in 1985 by the sculptor Aroldo Pignattari, who called her "Mignon" as a homage to the poem of that name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Since 1986 the statue sits on that fountain. Though being made from bronze, the statue usually appears whitish, because she is covered in calcareous sinter from the fountain's water.

Die Sinter-Terrassen und heißen Quellen bei dem Ort Mammoth Hot Springs im Yellowstone-Nationalpark wurden 1871 durch eine geologische Expedition entdeckt. Zuvor dürften sie nur einigen Indianer - Völkern bekannt gewesen sein. Heiße Quellen lassen Wasser von ca. 70 Grad Celsius über die Terrassen gleiten. Die hohen Kalk- und Mineralienanteile des Wassers lagern sich in Form von Terrassen ab.
The sinter terraces and hot springs at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park were discovered by a geological expedition in 1871. Before that, they were probably known only to some Native American peoples. Hot springs let water of about 70 degrees Celsius glide over the terraces. The high lime and mineral content of the water is deposited in the form of terraces.

suspended dumpsters at Völklinger Hütte
Pour desservir tous les hauts fourneaux le site comprend un stock énorme de bennes, 265 au total. Chaque benne reçevait son mélange ( du minerai de fer, de l'aggloméré, de la ferraille, du calcaire et de la coke) depuis des trémies alimenté par le hall de charge, puis elles partent en direction du haut fourneau associé. Chaque benne devait contenir un certain mélange de produit, et celui-ci devait être très bien proportionné, car chaque haut fourneau ne produisait pas la même fonte, les bennes étaient donc remplies différemment. La plate-forme de chargement est une longue galerie de presque 250 mètres, qui desservait chaque haut fourneau. Arrivé au gueulard un ouvrier était en charge d'ouvrir la benne, qui par cette action, se déversait par basculement automatiquement dans le gueulard. La benne arrivait et tournait autour du gueulard grâce à un monorail avant de repartir.
Une benne contient à peu près 1 tonne de minerai, il en faut entre 9 et 12 pour une charge de haut fourneau.
To serve all the blast furnaces, the site has a huge stock of skips, 265 in total. Each bin received its mixture (iron ore, sinter, scrap iron, limestone and coke) from hoppers fed by the load hall, then they went towards the associated blast furnace. Each dumpster had to contain a certain mixture of product, and this one had to be very well proportioned, because each blast furnace did not produce the same cast iron, the dumpsters were therefore filled differently. The loading platform is a long gallery of almost 250 meters, which served each blast furnace. Arrived at the top, a worker was in charge of opening the skip, which by this action, automatically tipped into the top. The dumpster arrived and circled around the top thanks to a monorail before leaving.
A dumpster contains about 1 ton of ore, it takes between 9 and 12 for a load of blast furnace (Sorry for the mistakes in English)
The most distinctive feature of Grotto Geyser is its cone, which is over six feet high , has one section missing and includes several calcified trees, giving the appearance of a ring of pinnacles surrounding the vent, all usually partly obscured by steam. The geyser was one of the first seven in the basin to be given an official name, in 1870. Eruptions of Grotto Geyser last between one hour and one day, separated by around eight hours. The height is usually not great, around ten feet, but the spectacle is made more impressive by the elegant cone. The vent is surrounded by shallow pools and intricate sinter formations.
Hot spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.
Sitting atop the sinter terraces known as Geyser Flat, is Pohutu, the largest active geyser in the southern hemisphere. It was less active on the day I visited, but we pay our money and take our chance. Even so, it's one of the most photographed attractions in all of Rotorua.
The rut is just a dim memory now as this bull elk trudges along the Madison River in search of food in freezing temperatures. Yellowstone National Park.
The cone reminded me of vanilla ice cream with caramel on top...
"White Dome Geyser is a conspicuous cone-type geyser located in the Lower Geyser Basin along Firehole Lake Drive. It's 12-foot-high geyser cone is one of the largest in the park." Wiki
I observed it going off in the distance but the show was over by the time I got here. It's eruptions occur ranging from 15 minutes to 3 hours. It reaches a height of 30 feet. The show is quite impressive, but short, lasting approximately 2 minutes.
Friday is here! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead.
Mammoth Hot Springs are a must-see feature of Yellowstone National Park in part because they’re so different from other thermal areas in the area. This is largely because limestone is a relatively soft type of rock, allowing the travertine formations to grow much faster than other sinter formations. It has been described as looking like a cave turned inside out.
Tokaanu Thermal Walk (20 minutes)
This short walk provides an interesting glimpse of a natural thermal area. See steaming hot mineral pools set in sinter basins and spluttering mud pools amidst the native bush.
For hundreds of years, Maori have used theNet@Artresources of this area for cooking, bathing and leisure. Share in this tradition by having a therapeutic and relaxing swim at the nearby Tokaanu Thermal Pools.
Rainbow trout can often be seen here in the cold Tokaanu stream that flows beside the thermal area.
Hot pools range in hues of turquoise blue and rich green to burnt orange and sulphuric yellow, making the steaming waters a must-see!
The vibrant colors are caused by miniral and sillicate interference .....
Yellow - Caused by Sulphur
Orange - Is due to antimony
Green - Sulphuran ferrous Salts

The Dechen Cave (Dechenhöhle) at Iserlohn in Germany is one of the most beautiful and most visited show caves in Germany, It is located in the northern part of the Sauerland at Iserlohn. 360 metres of the 870-metre long cave have been laid out for visitors, beginning at the spot where, in 1868, the cave was discovered by two railway workers. The workers dropped a hammer into a rock crevice which turned out to be the entrance to a dripstone cave when they were searching for the lost tool.
The cave is named after Oberberghauptmann Heinrich von Dechen (1800–1889), in recognition of his contribution to researching the geology of the Rhineland and Westphalia.
It is a karst cave which moves in large turns through the calcareous rock and whose usually barrel-shaped spacious aisle profile is lined with a multiplicity of different sinter forms (stalactites, stalagmites, wall sinter cascades, sinter basins, etc.).
This wealth of crystalline deposits makes it particularly worth seeing, so that it was expanded for visitor traffic immediately after its discovery. Due to its relatively high position above the Grüner Tal, water has not flowed through it for thousands of years, instead powerful clay deposits form the cave floor under the bottom sinter. The inhabitants of the cave include the Great Cave Spider (Meta menardi) and bats.
Next to the cave is the newly opened German Cave Museum in 2006. In addition to a documentary on worldwide cave science, important finds from the Dechenhöhle will be presented, such as the skeleton of a cave bear baby excavated here in 2000 and the skull of a forest rhino discovered in 1993. These finds were recovered from the mighty clay deposits of the cave floor. An archaeological excavation site that illustrates the find situation to visitors to the cave can be visited during a cave tour.
Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin Grotto Geyser.
Grotto Geyser is perhaps the most unusual of Yellowstone’s geysers. Geologists believe that hundreds (or thousands) of years ago, Grotto Geyser emerged in a stand of dead or dying trees and, through time, deposited layer upon layer of siliceous sinter (silica) over the stumps and branches.
You can get a feel for it's size with the approaching hikers on the right adding some scale.
Another angle on this special geyser in the comments.
Thanks for taking a look!
Have a marvelous Monday!
This view of the May 18, 2020 evening eruption of Beehive Geyser in Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming was taken from the trail to Castle Geyser.
R922 (Above) & R926 (Below) complete an over under meet at Dock 6 in Duluth, Minnesota. R922 has just shoved to a spot with its last cut of United Taconite loads as R926 pulls out of Lakehead with Minorca Limestone and a cut of sinter on the rear. The John D Leitch finishes up its trimming and will soon push off later in the evening. Meanwhile a CP Stinson Yard job waits to the right of the frame for R926 to crossover from the Eastbound to the Westbound.
On July 2 2022, the small geyser in the Upper Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park known as Beehive’s Indicator started erupting at 11:58 a.m. Then at 12:02 p.m., the larger Beehive Geyser (left side of photo) istarted erupting. Old Faithful Geyser ( right side of photo) started its eruption at 12 04 p.m. The crowd waiting for Old Faithful was treated to a simultaneous eruption of both geysers. This photo was stitched together from 4 separate images taken during the simultaneous eruptions.
The Champagne Pool at the thermal site »Wai-O-Tapu« in the north island of New Zealand derives its name from the carbon dioxide bubbles which bubble up just like in a glas of champagne.
The hot spring water ist saturated with metalloid compounds, which create the orange parts of the shore as deposits of orpiment and stibnite, while the rest of the shore is formed from grey-white silica sinter.
Der Champagne Pool im Thermalgebiet Wai-O-Tapu in Neuseeland hat einem Durchmesser von 65 m, einer Tiefe von 62 m, ein geschätztes Wasservolumen von 50.000 m³ und ist damit eine der größten Thermalquellen Neuseelands.
Das ca. 75 °C heiße Wasser ist übersättigt mit den Metalloidverbindungen Orpiment (As2S3) und Stibnit (Sb2S3), die ausfallen und ein orangefarbiges Sediment bilden.
Der Name „Champagne Pool“ leitet sich von dem kontinuierlichen Strom an Gasblasen ab, die zur Wasseroberfläche aufsteigen, vergleichbar mit Gasperlen in einer Flöte Champagner. Das entweichende Gasgemisch besteht hauptsächlich aus Kohlendioxid (CO2), zu einem geringen Anteil aus Stickstoff (N2), Methan (CH4), Wasserstoff (H2), Wasserstoffsulfid (H2S) und Spuren von Sauerstoff (O2).
The Crater Mine in North Death Valley, Ca. has been mined twice for sulfur although significant amounts of gypsum and sinter are also present. The source of the sulfur is from hydrothermal alteration related to the vapor phase of a hot spring system feeding up through limestones and dolomites.

Rainbow appears in the steam near the end of Vent Geyser’s eruption in The Grand Geyser Complex, Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
Morning Glory Pool in the Upper Geyser Basin was a beautiful blue hot spring when visitors first started visiting Yellowstone National Park in the 1880s. The spring bore a remarkable likeness to its namesake flower. It became a very popular tourist stop. Early park roads ran very near the spring which made it easily accessible. Its popularity came at a cost to the pool’s beauty. Park visitors used it as a “wishing well” by throwing into it literally tons of coins, trash, rocks, sticks and logs. Famed park naturalist George Marler once attempted to clean out the spring making an inventory of what he pulled out. Despite Marler’s efforts visitors kept throwing objects into the pool. Much of the debris subsequently became embedded in the sides and vent of the spring, affecting water circulation and accelerating the loss of thermal energy. As the water temperature dropped, orange and yellow thermophyllic bacteria started growing at the margins of the pool. Over the years, continued dropping temperature has allowed these organisms to spread toward the center of the spring. This temperature drop has resulted in the loss of the morning glory blue color from the spring and left the center of the pool green in color. It is still beautiful but I miss the Morning Glory of my youth.

Photo of a Grand Geyser eruption taken on the first day Yellowstone National Park reopened after the COVID 19 closure. There we 12 of us there watching,
The sun sets on hot springs along Tantalus Creek in the Back Basin of Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This photo was taken from near Deckers Island on the other side of the creek from the hillside location of Steamboat Geyser. I took this while waiting for a Steamboat major eruption on Aug 9, 2020. It erupted (major) at 23:06. I need a good daytime major eruption to get some good photos. Maybe the next?

The sinter plant is a critical path process that continuously provides feedstock to the blast furnaces. Sintering is a production process whereby small particles coalesce to form larger masses, usually at high temperature.
This process benefits the blast furnace operation, as sintering avoids losses which would otherwise occur if the iron ore, coke and limestone were fed into the blast furnace in a loose or powdered state.

Vent Geyser is part of the Grand Geyser Complex and starts usually erupting during a grand eruptions. It can erupt for up to an hour after Grand Geyser’s eruption is finished. It is located along with another geyser,Turban, on the north side of the Grand Geyser’s 30 foot wide pool . While both geysers can erupt with Grand the opening of Vent Geyser is much smaller than that of Turban and it can shoot a narrow angled stream of water up to heights of 70 feet. It is pretty impressive but is usually upstaged by the powerful Grand Geyser which can erupt to heights up to 200 feet.

Cistern Spring is located in the valley just to the south of Steamboat Geyser. Hydrologically they are connected or linked underground. During a major eruption of Steamboat, the water in Cistern Spring's pool drains completely leaving a steaming hole. As seen is this photo, normally Cistern is a beautiful blue pool from which water continually overflows. It deposits as much as 1/2 inch (12mm) of grayish sinter each year which is an extreme high rate for Yellowstone’s hot springs. In other places, thermal features like,Old Faithful Geyser may build at the rate of only 1/2 to 1 inch (12 - 25 mm) per century. Cistern Spring's has been flooding the surrounding lodgepole pine forest with silica rich water since 1965 killing many of the trees you can see in the photo.

Old faithful erupts on June 28, 2019 in Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, WY. Thhis photo was taken from the bench near Beehive Geyser on Geyser Hill. Beehive’s cone, from which it gets its name, is in the right corner of the picture. To the left of Old Faithful, the Old Faithful Lodge is visible. The current Lodge is a descendent of the Shaw & Powell Camping Company that operated in the park from 1898 to 1916. Over the years a series of detached buildingd and cabins were built. Then starting in 1926 architect Gilbert Stanley consolidated them one complex. The lodge is li part of the Old Faithful Historic Distric listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
