When you see billows of steam surrounding the magnificent travertine formations of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, it can be hard to believe that the air around you is only eleven degrees. There is even snow on some areas of the terraces where the steam is not escaping. The travertine is white but the bacteria (called thermophiles) tints the white to create a colorful tapestry. The beauty of this place can make you feel warm all over despite the temperature.
That is a gorgeous image of the terrace. Sure is a different looking area then we were there. I’m really looking forward to seeing Yellowstone in November next year.
Do you have anytime this week to go out to the Sandcranes? I can go any afternoon expect Wednesday this week. Saturday I’m in a holiday Boutique here in Lincoln & Sunday we have our golf club holiday party. And there’s rain in the forecast for the weekend. Just hope we do get rain.
Ok take care………📸 Yvonne
