Not-So-Wordless Wednesday - Clouds Above Opal Pool

Opal Geyser - Yellowstone National Park

The photo above was taken at Yellowstone National Park on June 29, 2009.  Opal Pool (named for its colorful water) is located in the Midway Geyser Basin.  Don't let the name Opal Pool fool you.  This is not a pool to swim in.  It is actually a hot spring with scalding water. 

Midway Geyser Basin is also host to Grand Prismatic Spring and Excelsior Geyser.  I would recommend anyone visiting Yellowstone National Park to make a stop at the Midway Basin Geyser which is a few minutes drive from Upper Basin Geyser and Old Faithful.

Gerry - Opal Pool almost looks like an optical illusion.

Scalding it may be, but a beautiful sight to behold. I see where the name comes from!
