Beautiful colors in Yellowstone’s thermal features

The colors of bacteria in hot springs. Taken at West Thumb Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park yesterday. The orange area is actual bacteria growth which is pretty amazing given that the clear, blue water is actually at a temperature of over 200 degrees F.
