Yellowstone National Park is one of America's great natural treasures. Although it is perhaps most famous for its intriguing geysers, Yellowstone has a plethora of other things to see and experience as well, and today's picture is a fine example. Taken from the West Thumb Geyser Basin, it features the clear waters of Yellowstone Lake with an absolutely amazing sky in the background.

    That's a great photo of Yellowstone Lake! Mr. Mariskanish did a wonderful job. I can really feel there's tunnel between the water and the clouds. What a great perspective.

    Mr. Rouse, you amaze me with the way you consistently manage to find and publish such gorgeous photographs on this site. I'm a rank amateur when it comes to photography, but I always seem to learn some little something every time I visit this wonderful site. And Kudos to Mr. Mariskanish as well for capturing such a breathtaking image! Well done!!!
