Reflective Splendor II

Just want to make sure that I post most of the "ordinary" stuff before posting anything from the "Palette of Thermophiles" coz I am sure once I start posting the range of colors from Yellowstone hot water springs ppl would lose taste for any such reflection photography.

Weather was just perfect for a visit to this huge park that requires you to walk atleast about 20 miles on boarwalks and mountain trails by the end of the day.... Bright day... clear sky... temperature in high 50's (about 10-15 deg C ...finally got used to the 'F' scale :) )... all in all, a wonderful day and place for nature photography.



An ice cap on that would have definitely added to the beauty of it.. but its too much to ask for .. on a day as beautiful as this.. in mid Aug.. The best time to get snow covered mountains here would probably be some time in mid june.. but then .. u never know what impact the snow and lower temperatures would have on the color of the thermophiles in the hot springs! Btw the park is closed from early Nov to late Apr due to inclement weather and excessive snowing.


The waters of Swan lake where the moutains were reflected were not half as clear as the rest of the springs in yellowstone, but the view was splendid!!
