I hereby award you Mbz1 this very rare Crepuscular Rays Barnstar for 2 many great atmospheric optics pictures --Richard Bartz (talk) 16:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

•  Info Here are few interesting things to notice. The color of hot springs is the result of pigmented w:bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water. While w:bacteria thrive in w:hot springs, the trees die there. There are few dead trees on the image. There are two sets of w:crepuscular rays. The most interesting one is the one that is coming upward from the w:hot spring. The light source for these rays is the Sun's reflection.
