"In The Beginning"

This magnificent spectacle stands in solitude outside of Gerlach, Nevada, quietly marking the passing of time. Layer upon layer building skyward, this leaking geothermal well spews a steady stream of scalding, mineral-laden water. Fly Geyser began forming in 1964, and continues to grow several inches a year.

This exotic and misty landscape was captured as the sun began its rise over the stark, hauntingly primitive Black Rock Desert. The luminescent sky, dramatically colored by an oncoming storm, infuses the scene with an other-worldly tone.

Hi Stephan, This is a great shot. I am about to embark on a week trip to California. One of the places that I simply must see is Fly Geyser. Please advise how you managed to get close to it. I know you must ask permission but do you do it there? Do you call in advance? Who do you call as there is very little info on the internet. What time did you take this and what exposure? Any help is great

That is like a scene from a fantasy movie. When I saw it, I fist thought that it`s a computer animation. Really good !
