Photographer's Note
Liberty Cap
Our second day in Yellowstone National Park started close to our hotel, in the north-western corner of the park. Here are the Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces, a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine. Some of the terraces are seen in the background here and of course I will show many more photos from this place as well. The rock in the foreground is called Liberty Cap. It is also made of travertine, about 12 metres high and an extinct hot spring cone. It got its name in 1871 by members of an early expedition to Yellowstone, who were reminded by the caps worn by peasant in the French Revolution, so-called liberty caps.

Hello Lars,
Liberty cap is an interesting feature and an equally interesting link to history. The extinct geyser is very well placed in your photograph, like a statue, and just as sharp. It makes a great focal point, establishing a good sense of depth to the b/g features.
It was a fine day, with good light for your photography.
My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hi Lars,
The wideness of the area is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the Liberty Cap. The light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Lars,
Another fine photo from these natural wonders. The Liberty cap reminds me of the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Lars.
Definitely the Yellowstone Park is for many a place of interest and theories. You show us a clean cut scene, one of many attractions right there to the visiting people. TFS!!!

Bonjour, cher Lars,
Décidément la nature ne cesse de m'étonner à travers les différentes prises de vue présentées.
Ce lieu avec cette pierre levée ne manque pas d'étonner formant une sorte de champignon non comestible !
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.

Hello Lars,
The travertine geyser built up over millennia from mineral deposits does resemble the French peasant caps. Good to see a walkway to restrict public access to safe areas away from hot water and fumes. Tfs!

Hej Lars,
Jag tycker att klippan i förgrunden ser mer ut som en fallos än en mössa, men det har man väl inte fått säga i finkänsliga USA. Hur som helst är den fint placerad i bilden, med de märkliga klipporna i bakgrunden. Lite respektlöst kunde jag säga att de ser ut som en väldig tipp för miljöfarligt avfall. Verkligen en spännande miljö som vi får se mer av.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Lars, that extinct cone reminds a mushroom. A footbridge leads to the hot springs in the bg. The rocks take yellow and white colors due to the geothermic activity. Fine colors, good sharpness, instructive photo note, regards.

Hi Lars
Good one, and I like the wide view which puts the Liberty Cap in perspective, with good colour, detail and it shows the scale nicely. Excellent shot.
Best regards

Dag Lars,
Al uw foto uit dit park nemen een extra plaats in mijn gedachten.
Het zijn stuk voor stuk mooie foto's
Wanneer ik kijk naar de rotsen en de bijhorende natuur ben ik, overtuigd van de mooie foto
Heel goed foto werk, bedankt.

Hi Lars,
wow, this is an amazing scene from Yellowstone.
The colors of the rocks which are changing from yellow to white are so remarkable.
The path built for people allows to imagine the scale without causing too much disturbance.
The shape of the rock gave me a lot of ideas for an indecent title.
Lovely sky to top it up.
Excellent work!!!

Hello Lars, This is probably the most known place in Yellowstone. Strange that I haven't posted any photos of this place. Excellent composition with the liberty cap. Fascinating capture.

Hello Lars, your fascinating shots from Yellowstone help us to appreciate just how wonderful our world really is!
And also fascinating is that man has to liken a natural feature to something from their experience/ life, in calling the formation a Liberty Cap!
Your shots give an excellent impression of the National Park.
Kind regards, Jean.

Dag Lars,
Een mooie overzichtsfoto van deze fascinerende omgeving die weer de nodige gigabytes vergde om alles er een paar keer op te krijgen. Ik ben benieuwd wat ik ga toevoegen als ik hier eindelijk aankom.
Groet Rob

Hej Lars, wat een evenwichte opgebouwde en qua kleur en detailweergave overtuigende plaat is dit. Een treffende naam, heeft die kegel, je kan er idd een 19e eeuws hoefddeksel in zien. Sterk werk ! Fijne avond ! Bert.
