The basics: earth, wind, and a hot fire down below. Hurricane Vent, in the Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone.

It is a an interesting spot. For me though the composition is a bit disorientating and its hard to tell where I am looking from and what I am looking at.

Maybe a different time of the day might give more depth to the picture.

Thanks for sharing. Scott

Neat comp - I like the various visual elements peeking out from the mists here. Makes for an interesting view.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for your comments. Simon is right about the mystery at Yellowstone's thermal areas…especially in the first hour or so of the day, when (normally) fog and steam provide an ever-changing view of the landscape. Without it I think many of the views are so-so…straightforward but lacking drama.

This second picture is a smaller area along the edge of the vent that morning…intended to be "elemental." Origins of life, indeed.

Wow- very cool. That vent with the mist all around it is very dramatic.

The last in this series…as Simon notes, the ripples can have about any meaning you like. Mesmerizing, too.
