In Yellowstone's West Thumb Geyser Basin, several thermal features are located in a relatively small area on the shores of Yellowstone Lake. One of my favorites is Black Pool as it lines up very well with the Mily Way core in the summer and fall. A fellow photographer took a photo here years ago, and seeing it was also an inspiration to get back into photography, and nightscapes in particular once again myself.

Last Saturday night was as peaceful as anyone could wish for. And the skies, reflected in perfectly still water, did not dissapoint!
