Description
Other-worldly, dystopian, and mesmerizing are but a few words to describe Yellowstone's Mammoth Hot Springs. The Upper Terrace contains some of the most iconic features of the park. Canary Spring is arguably Mammoth’s most visually stunning feature. The iconic, east-facing, terraced pools of Canary Spring take on the hues of the day. The scene is a visual feast to behold anytime of day. This image was captured in February; snow blanketing a currently inactive portion of the travertine terraces.
I find Canary Spring mesmerizing; each visit is a fresh encounter. I particularly like the trees claimed by the springs. The remains of the foreground pine tree offer a unique contrast the to vibrant, evolving spring in the background.
Yellowstone National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
