Inferno, a photo from Wyoming, West

Photographer's Note

This is the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park. You can get more information here. People stand around the geyser and watch it erupt. It was a brilliantly sunny day, and most people were taking its photos from the other side, so you would get a dramatic photo something like this. To get a different pov, I just walked around and shot into the sun.

You can take a webcam tour to see how it is at doing at this moment.

Of course you did right, Animesh! What a different sight than the usual flat lighted phenomenon... biblical, mythological, extraterrestrial, it's a burst of light in the darkness, an explosion from an alien planet, alike Oedipe we get blinded by the truth of the light...

What a strange atmosphere you got here, really Inferno trying to reach for the sun, with its eternal defying attitude towards what cannot be conceived, nor physically or in thoughts.

Hi Again
Had to look back in your gallery to see what other gems are lying there to be discover by my eyes.
Brilliant of you to go on the other side,I will not have thought about it,but now,I will remember to look at all the possible angles and sometimes,not to follow the rules.
You got a very dramatic picture,I like the inclusion of the tree on the right,it gives balance.
I am learning just looking at your pictures.
Time to go to work.
Have a good day
Charles

This is absolutely fantastic. Superb point of view and superb rendition. The tree has given the scene a feel of earthliness in the midst the infernal. Amazing.
