Day 1 of the Forum began photographing images of Geysers at sunrise with the sun in the background. Staying awake after getting up before dawn is easy when the temperature is only 6 degrees F.
First up on the walk was Castle Geyser due to its unique structure billowing steam clouds. The challenge is that you know that the experience from being there is going to be a lot better than the image you will be able to capture on film. In fact, it took several rolls of film just to capture the image on this page and the preceding page. At one point, it looked like the whole world was erupting.
The first morning also included visits to Morning Glory Pool, Punch Bowl Spring for close ups of algae, Black Sand Pool, and Emerald Pool.
