The morning temperature was in the teens causing large vapor clouds to rise above the hot thermal water percolating up through the rock in multiple locations at West Thumb Geyser Basin.  A slight wind off of Lake Yellowstone created a constantly changing scenery effect.  The trick was to just sit there and wait for the right amount of steam and wind to display a scene that you really liked.
