Howdee all,
We stayed at Mammoth Hot springs for a week.
Jeff went out one early morning and took these photos.
A world of bubbling hot,, sulfur smelling waters
Living sculptures of Limestone
Travertine is deposited as white rock, however the microorganisms and living bacteria create beautiful shades of oranges, pinks, yellows, greens, and browns.
This bubbling world seems prehistoric
It drips and bubbles, makes sculptures….and kills trees in its path
More Yellowstone photos to come…
then..onto the Tetons.
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Georgous!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some place. I have never seen a place like that. And where was it that you all soaked in after your hikes?

You must go and see it for yourself Diane..and hike too!:)
We soaked in the boiling river..close to Mammoth Hot Springs.
Wow, what a weird and unusual and totally cool place!
ReplyDeleteIt's like above ground cave formations. I really like the rimstone dams. Don't care too much for the rotten egg smell. Can you really soak in any of these pools? Jeff's images are great.
ReplyDeleteWow, it does look prehistoric and sooooo cool!
ReplyDeleteOh and good job Jeffy!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! It does look prehistoric. I can imagine the colors were even more vivid in person. I love visiting places with you guys!
ReplyDeleteSo much of Yellowstone is surreal - one almost waits for a Hieronymous Bosch figure to appear - or something from Salvatore Dali. Wonderful if Yellowstone is the place where some of the surrealists drew inspiration. Or maybe they were just crazy. But Yellowstone is real! and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors - really pretty spot and i agree surreal
