Grand Prismatic Pool 7503

            Grand Prismatic Spring — Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Please view whole series (only 7 photos)

Obviously named for its rainbow coloration, the Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States and one of the most popular attractions in Yellowstone National Park. The spring's remarkable oranges, yellows and greens are the result of pigmented bacteria proliferating around the mineral-rich edges of the water. In contrast, the gorgeous blue hue found at the center is pure, clear water sterilized by the extreme heat. 

I should have done more homework about this pool. There is a doable hike that would have allowed for a better (higher) view angle than I had. To get some of these shots I stood on a park bench but that wasn't really enough. Because of the cooler, cloudy, and sometimes rainy day steam was more prevelant making it impossible to get some shots without waiting for a breeze to clear the pool.
