Mudpots


We came across these mudpots in a hike.  It was much cooler finding things this way than driving up to them and walking across wooden planks for viewing.  Unfortunately (and fortunately) most of Yellowstone is like that.  However, it is important because it preserves the environment. There is already alot of damage to the unique ecosystems here.  

This mudpot reminded me of a piece of art I had seen in the SoHo Guggenheim almost ten years ago.  I'm not sure of the artists name but the piece was basically a large basin filled with paint (the same color as the picture) that was bubbling much the same way as these mudpots.
