Description
A waterfall of hot spring water descends from a currently active portion of the spring that formed the Cleopatra Terrace, on the northern edge of Mammoth Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Early morning light brings out the gradations of color and natural striations of the mineral deposits. Thermophilic bacteria produce the multi-colored staining on the rock. The sources and volumes of water flow vary over time, and contribute to the slow buildup of mineral salts that make up the beautiful living terraces. Nearby areas that are no longer fed by spring water have turned dull and gray, and are slowly crumbling away.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have continued to develop my compositional and post-processing skills and have slowly acquired higher quality equipment that is now capable of putting those skills to their best use. I finally became confident enough to begin posting my work online in September 2012, and have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America.
