Fountain Paint Pots, Yellowstone National Park

Fountain Paint Pots, Yellowstone National Park
This is an extensive area of thermal activity on the west side of Yellowstone. The white in the picture is not snow but calcium carbonate deposits left by boiling water seeping and bubbling up from the ground, in this area, often through huge depressions filled with thick boiling mud. The trees have been killed by the thermal activity.

How astounding. At one time they were growing and now they are dead. I wonder what caused the land to change. I see smoke in the distance, yet there is a healthy tree not too far away.

Yellowstone is an area of extreme thermal activity and always has been. It's the thermal activity that produces the steam (not smoke) and that kills the trees that are too close.

Looks like something has made a home in one of the dead trees.... Them holes are too big for just bug hunting... Wonderful capture!
