I photographed this photo of the Dragon’s Mouth Spring at Yellowstone National Park in August of 2021 when my family and I took a two-week road trip to 9 national parks. Yellowstone National Park was our second to last stop on our 2-week road trip. Glacier National Park was our final stop before heading home.

Photo of the Dragon’s Mouth Spring at Yellowstone National Park

This photo was taken in the afternoon on a sunny summer afternoon in Yellowstone Park. Hot springs like this one are a very common sight to see in this national park. In fact, they are the most comment hydrothermal feature in the park. However, they are not very pleasant to the nose. The smell of hot springs is like smelling rotten eggs which is caused by the hydrogen sulfide gas that escape through the clay mud.

Whenever you are near a hot spring, such as this one, you must be very cautious. Hydrothermal water can severely burn people and animals.

This site in Yellowstone National Park was one of the first ones we saw on our drive through Yellowstone. We visited during the summertime when there were a lot of people, so it would be nice to go back at another time when it is not as crowded. Out of all of the hot springs, this was one of my favorite hot springs we saw.

I started out using 35mm point and shoot cameras, then upgraded to a 35mm DSL camera, and then finally came the world of digital DSL cameras. Gone are the days of having to wait for your film to be developed to see what you captured. Photography has never been so much fun!
