Hi guys! Yesterday's Daily Nature Fix about iPhone photos of Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon seemed to be enjoyed, so I figured I'd do another round of iPhone-only photos. This time: Yellowstone National Park. I think one of the appealing things about clumping photos together that were taken with only a cellphone is that it gives a better idea of what a place (or thing) looked like in person. No fancy equipment. I didn't do much editing other than size and brightness adjustments.
^^^This first one is cooler than it looks. I mean, that's a LOT of steam coming out of the ground, which is cool by itself, but what this is a photo of is awesome. This is a photo of the Steamboat Geyser. The awesome part is that this is the largest geyser in the entire world. This bad boy is number 1. At eruption, it can throw boiling hot water up to 300 feet in the air. It's eruptions are unpredictable and seem to happen every few years or months, and the last time we were at the park, we missed one by just 3 days! Though it was in the middle of the night so I guess we wouldn't have seen it anyway. 🤷♂️
^^^This next one was taken somewhere in Porcelain Basin. I'm not sure which hot spring this is, but I'm sure it has a name. I really love the power blue color of the water. It must have a lot of silica or other mineral in it to make it look this way. That same mineral is probably whats been deposited across the surrounding landscape giving it the barren, white porcelain look.
^^^Here's the only panorama of this bunch. At the time, I think I had an old iPhone 4s, which was one of the first to have the panorama feature. I took a LOT of them on this trip. lol Anyway, this one is looking out across the Grand Prismatic Hot Spring, which is probably the most incredible natural land feature I've ever seen. Mother Nature sure is one hell of an artist.
^^^No, this is not a painting or a postcard. This really is what it looked like at the Calcite Springs Overlook, peering out over the Yellowstone River. Again, iPhone photo.
