Natural Color and Design

One thing I couldn't help seeing while looking at the thermal features in Yellowstone were the patterns and color palette. I was amazed at the natural range of colors spewed from geysers, vents, and springs. I kept looking at them as abstract art in the same vein as those pieces you see where they give animals (monkeys, elephants, etc...) paints and then sell their "masterpieces". The huge exception is that this is a macrocosmic work of art created solely by natural forces, with some of these "canvases" acres in size.
