 First geyser I saw just had to be Old Faithful

 

 
 Great fountain geyser - it erupts every 8-12 hours - I just caught it at the end of an eruption
The "Dragon's Mouth" at the Mud Volcano hot pools - not too impressive on a dull and rainy day.......

 

 
 .....much more impressive the next day in the sun.
 Good name - shame about the lack of geysing!

 

 
 Norris geyser basin area - nice mountain wave cloud!
 Mud gurgling at Norris Geyser basin

 

 
 Sulphur Cauldron at Mud Volcano
 Mud pools at Norris geyser basin - the next 4 are close ups of the mud pools

 

 
 plop!
 squirt!

 

 
 plop again
 ..and this spaceship burst a fraction of a second later

 
   
 More mud at Artist Paintpots

 

 
 and yet more
 Rainbow Pool at Black Sand Basin

 

 
 Sapphire Pool at Biscuit Basin - this is what I've played around with to produce the web pages' background
 Stitched photo of the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs

 
 
and the view of the terraces approaching Mammoth - they actually look like a glacier coming out of the hillside

 

 
 and another view with another of those lenticular clouds in the background
 and more of the same
