Yellowstone Elements: LAPC

The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week is the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Here are pictures that feature several of the elements that I took at Yellowstone National Park.

Morning Glory Hot Spring, Upper Geyser Basin
Firehole River, Midway Geyser Basin
Near Blood Geyser, Artistsโ€™ Paintpots
Emerald Pool, Black Sand Basin
Bison at Churning Caldron, Mud Volcano

The five pictures above of Yellowstone elements each include wood, water, fire, and earth. In this case, the fire is below the surface. This area sits inside a giant caldera and geysers and hot springs are common in the park. Steam rises over these thermal features.

You may be wondering where the element of โ€œmetalโ€ is in these photos. In the photo below, I was using our metal car as a blind to take pictures of the bison and accidentally took a picture of myself holding my metal camera. ๐Ÿ˜€

Hope you enjoy my interpretation of this challenge!
