Photo-Finish Friday--Steamy


Steam rises from the super-heated water in the ground at Yellowstone Lake.
So much is vented that at times it obscures the magnificent huge, blue lake right behind these trees.

There's a great eeriness in that photo, Leah and then on the flip side on a clear day it'd probably be a picture of pure beauty. Nce shot, Leah.

Have a great weekend.

David Cranmer said...

Yeah, I agree with Dave, there is an eeriness to the shot.

Laurita said...

What a great story starter that photo would make.

Leah J. Utas said...

David B., thanks. It is eerie all right. I think I might run a clear pic of it soon for comparison because you're absolutely right. It is a beautiful spot.

David C.,it's unsettling, yet beautiful in its own right.

Laurita, it would.

It's gorgeous, cousin, and I agree with the others about the eeriness!

When I visited Yellowstone there were parts where I felt I had entered the after world. Nice photo, though.

Virginia Lee said...

Excellent photo, Leah. Thanks for sharing it.

Leah J. Utas said...

Bag Lady, thanks.

Tabor, great way to describe it. I agree completely. And thanks.

Virginia Lee, my pleasure. I'm glad you like it.

Great shot. You kind of half expect the four horsemen to come out of the mist.

Leah J. Utas said...

Reb, I never thought of it, but you're right. Thanks.

Very otherworldly. Like a place only the brave would go.

Thanks, Hilary. The steam makes it so moody.
