RIVER OF GOLD by Jo Ann Tomaselli http://jo-ann-tomaselli.artistwebsites.com/
There is nothing like visiting Yellowstone National Park during the winter! The air temperatures are extreme - the day this image was taken it was -14 degrees. In this environment, when thermal steam venting from the earth mixes with the frigid air, hoar frost forms on the trees creating a magical, mystical snow environment unlike anything I've ever seen before!
I wasn't sure of the science and how to describe the River Of Gold so the following is a description from the parks website:
Yellowstone National Park preserves the most extraordinary collection of hot springs, geysers, mudpots, fumaroles, and travertine terraces on Earth. More than 10,000 hydrothermal features are found here, of which more than 500 are geysers.
Microorganisms called thermophiles, or heat lovers, make their homes in the hydrothermal features of Yellowstone. Although individually they are too small to be seen with the naked eye, so many are grouped together in the park's hydrothermal features—trillions!—that they often appear as masses of color. Many of these microorganisms are also called extremophiles because they inhabit environments that are extreme to human life. Imagine living in near-boiling temperatures, in hydrothermal features with the alkalinity of baking soda, or in water so acidic that it can burn holes in clothing; microorganisms in Yellowstone not only exist in such conditions, but require these extremes to thrive.
