Yellowstone National Park defies description. I wonder what the first explorers thought of the steam rising from the earth?

The mist wraps you in its moist heat and fills your lungs with a pungent sulfur smell.

A foreign tourist stopped to talk to me, his face flushed with excitement. “I thought it was smoke”, he said, “And then when I walked over it was THIS!” And there are buffalo…I’ve never seen one outside of a zoo!” He walked away shaking his head…

Looking down into the bottomless depths of the pools, feels like a peek into the center of the earth.10_06_steam
