Wow. This is amazing. Was this taken in Winter, or is it the chemical/natural make-up of algae, etc that gives it the texture as well as the color? #1401769

Thanks, Kathy! This was taken in the beginning of July. The colors are mineral deposits, algea, and bacteria. This shot was taken about 20 minutes after sunrise. #9611361

Thanks for the extra details, Michael. This is the first time I've ever seen a photo of Canary Springs (either that or any previous ones just weren't as memorable.) #9611645
