As I have written in the first part of this blog on the colors of Yellowstone, that national park is absolutely amazing. Here are some more examples of that boiling area, full of gasses. By the way: I just started a Facebook fan page about my photo work, so please do not hesitate to like that!

Absolutely amazing. I don’t know any other words to write after having visited Yellowstone National Park in Montana, USA. The combination of colors that this huge volcanic area shows is unique. I learned that there are as many geysers in Yellowstone alone as all of these hot water springs in the rest of the world together. I cannot show the whole beauty of Yellowstone in one blog post, so I will write several on this explosion of colors.
The first post is about Mammoth Hot Springs, in the northern part of this National Park. The step-like terraces form as heated water moves along the Morris-Mammoth Fault. The hot water carries dissolved calcium and bicarbonate to the surface of the terraces where pressure lessens. Carbon dioxide then escapes as gas and the carbonate combines with calcium to precipitate as travertine (source, see here). Below, you’ll find the results of this chemical process.

Venice is an amazing city, as millions of tourists experience every year. Wandering around through this city of canals, bridges and old quaint houses, one can find surprises after every street corner (and there are many!). I’ve tried to capture the beauty of this Italian city in the early morning, in particular the combination of colors.
