Photographer’s Note

The Earth is in constant movement. Obviously it is not just the revolution or the rotary movement of our planet, it's also its inner disposition.
We observe manifestations of its strength as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, plate tectonics or thermal fields like this one. Geysir and Strokkur - in the picture - lie on one of such fields (Haukadalur) in Iceland. The blue pool is called Blesi, it gained its colour due to dissolved minerals in around 40°C water.
The show starts every several minutes and lasts for a few seconds.

How cool the hot temperament of our planet is...

Michal,
This place was spotlighted on NBC news Today Show this morning here in the US. Al Roker, the weatherman, did a story about these geothermal springs and geysers.
This is a nice shot with great contrast between the blue pool and the dark clouds in the sky. The natural color of the water is amazing and stands out nicely against the background. Your timing was perfect capturing the geyser in all it's glory.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Michal
A very nice composition
the bright earth and water contrasts well with the dark sky
the hot pool gives a good foreground

Incredible color contrast and lighting, as if light was coming out of the pools. It is funny to see the people standing next to the jeyser.

Czesc,

Przedni strzal. Licze na to, iz i ja bede mial szanse odwiedzic Islandie. Ale to dopiero za kilka miesiecy. Pierwszy plan bardzo mi sie podoba, odnosze jednak wrazenie, ze dalszy plan jest krztyne przekontrastowany.

Pozdro

Cześć Michale!

Ojej ale Ci zazdroszczę tej wyprawy. Wspaniałe zdjęcie. postacie oddają wielkość i potęgę gorących źródeł. W Toruniu chyba takich nie ma ;) ( To tak a propos moherowych odwiertów)

pozdrawiam
Jacek
