Don't worry, I'll also start up a new Art thread. But I'm a photographer as well, and even an amateur filmmaker. So I was thinking of maybe showing off a few of my photographs as well as my drawings.
Here are a couple photos I took at Yellowstone on New Year's Day. I live only two hours away from this geothermal wonder. But, unfortunately, you can't go anywhere beyond Mammoth Hot Springs without reservations at Old Faithful in Winter. So here are a few pictures from Mammoth.
At the base of the hill, there's this limestone formation called Liberty Cap. As the sign says, it's a dormant hot spring cone formed by thousands of years of mineral build-up from running water.
While I was walking around one of the inactive terraces on the hill, I came across a Mountain Hare. I took three photographs, and this is the best one. The other two were of it running away. :P
This is Canary Spring. Water bubbles up from underneath the ground and trickles down the hill to form a terrace. It's one of the very few terraces that are currently active. Many of the surrounding terraces shut down because of seismic activity. The reason why it's so steamy is because the water is inconceivably hot. Most springs in Yellowstone are at least 150 to 200 degrees farenheit. More than hot enough to cook a person alive.
Another photo of Canary Spring. This is taken from the other side of the pool where the water flows down the hill and forms a terrace.
