Orange Spring Mound at Yellowstone

I'm reaching back to the end of June and our trip to Yellowstone for this week's Skywatch Friday photograph. I like the sky in the background of this photo of Orange Spring Mound, a spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in the northwest corner of the park.
Visit Skywatch Friday for lots more sky-themed shots.

    Like the way the clouds almost radiate out from the mound.

    I just got back from Yellowstone last Thursday, and how I wished I have seen your posts, so I could get some ideas. Mammoth Spring has dried up when we were there.

    This is a beautiful shot!
