Here is a link from the National Park Service that tells you a little about these amazing springs: http://mms.nps.gov/yell/features/mammothtour/ It is short:)

Fantastic shot, Bill. I remember this particular formation very well...

Terrific photo! It's breathtaking full size, such an interesting formation.

Fantastic place!

This is superb, dear Bill. Top notch work. I am still struggling with this unfriendly site. Hugs. Di. xx

I Love that changing place.

Very interesting information in your link, Bill, and I like your photo but better than the one in the link. Breathtaking in zoom view!

Amazing capture Bill. God bless.

You did a great job capturing the light and the colors (or lack of colors) in this amazing formation. Those who say your image is better than the one in the link are right ... this is just superb! :*

We didn't see this on our trip! This looks fantastic Bill and love your shot very much.

What an amazing landscape! Wow! Beautifully captured, Bill!

I want to go there!!!!!!!

It is amazing in zoom. I gave taken the tour through your link, it was very interesting & beautiful. xxx

Nice mate. It reminds me of Pamukkale.

fabulous image

Something out of a fantasy novel Very cool

amazing natural scene. great shot

Fabulous capture of the Hot Springs. I really like those rocky steppes, but I would be falling on my face if I ever tried to negotiate them.

Dont know why this astonishingly beautiful shot made me think about Mother Natures heavy steps up to heaven... I am not even religious :)

Excellent!

oh yeah (ala tara), your shot is infinitely superior to the one on the web. The web one is cringing right now. ("Take me with you," it's saying.) Isn't this the same place tara captured, in one of her uploads? Very similar? In any case, this is a longer view, and man, did you get a bejeweled shot. The darker sections are contrasted with luminous white sections---like powdered sugar shining in the sun. The smoke just adds to the luminosity. And the waters give a wonderful sheen to it. You got all kinds of billowing rock forms, making these mineral formations look like pastry, like the "crumble" part of "crumble cake". And it meets a clear blue sky. This is glorious. A beautiful capture---where once again you broke through the trap of photogenic sights, and made it into a genuinely beautiful picture. You took it over. Wonderful work, Bill,

(Btw, I thought, when seeing that you give links in the Comments section---it would've been great if museums had comment sections below the paintings. Where the artist can leave a link, a message, whatever. It would be particularly good if they had links from people like Rembrandt or Michelangelo. "Here's a pic of my model---Rem" With comments from other great artists underneath. Or---on the Sistine Chapel frescoes, by Michelangelo---a comment from God, Christ, Jeremiah, Isaiah, etc: "Cool". "Dig your use of reds". "I zoomed, man---far out!!!!" Or Raphael writing, on an upload of a Madonna: "I'm, like, soooooooo far behind on comments...I'll catch up this weekend! Promise!" Or Caravaggio writing, in a description to a painting in the Louvre: "Do you think 2 or 3 of you could give me more than 'great job'??? I work hours on these, people! Chop chop!") (I'd pay to see "Daz/Studio" over a Rembrandt...)
