Yellowstone National Park - Mammoth Springs Terrace

Thermal waters were quite evident at the northern entrance of Yellowstone. As one drives through Mammoth Springs, a white mound becomes visible. Among the tourists, elk, bison and plush grounds of the old army installation, the protrusion catches the eye.

Walkways surround the natural phenomenon offering the viewer a close up of geyser cauldrons and mineral deposits. The juxtaposition of colors is vivid and amazing.

If you didn't know any better, the image seems to be covered in pristine snow.
