Default Old Faithful

Good Morning from South Korea, DPS Family!
I was going thru some captures from last year for my Daughter and came across this one from Yellowstone National Park, This is Old Faithful Geyser. I know everyone probably has one just about like it if you've been there, but I wanted to share this with you.

Hope you enjoy it!
Michael

I've never been there and have only seen it in magazines. This is so much better...and really beautiful...the blue sky is wonderful.

I haven't been there so i don't have one like it. Thanks for sharing. Pristine blue sky as a backdrop makes this one especially good.

I was there in 1969. It's been awhile. Your shot is very nice. The blue sky is just beautiful.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Michael - great shot - when I first saw it I thought it was a geyser in Rotorua, New Zealand. I just love the richness of the blue sky - certainly make the geyser stand out and be the focal point. Well composed. Cheers, Bernz

I love the proportions of this picture, the blue split by the force of the white water, with just enough of the ground to stabilize it all. Beautiful shot!!
