Yellowstone hiss-trionics

In America’s first national park, Chuck Larsen of Pacific Palisades snapped this surreal scene at Yellowstone’s Biscuit Geyser. It was October of last year, and Yellowstone was starting to cool down and shut down, but its hot spots were still percolating. “I was standing on a boardwalk and caught the picture of the three,” he said. Larsen and a friend have been photo-touring national parks for several years. He used a Canon Rebel XTi.
