Bridal Veil Falls Rainbow
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, below Upper Falls
5/20/2016 Taken at Inspiration Point along the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park. The view along the canyon is amazing. The many different colors of the rock along the sides are the results of the many volcanic eruptions of the like of this area, going back millions of years. There are many fumaroles venting steam and water, carrying minerals from deep in the earth that contribute to the many colors. The red areas are due to iron oxides, and their are areas of intense yellow where sulfur has been deposited. As the wind changes, you are brought the brimstone odor of the vents in the area.
