Chocolate Pot on the Gibbon River, Yellowstone National Park (click to enlarge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is one of the Chocolate Pots along the Gibbon River in Yellowstone National Park (click on the image for a more vibrant image, not sure why the preview image is not as nice). \u00a0The Chocolate Pots are warm spring mounds created by minerals from the springs.<\/p>\n

This particular pot\u00a0is located adjacent to a pull-off on the road next to the Gibbon River. \u00a0You can jump the guardrail and walk down to the river for a close up view across the river<\/p>\n

A tripod allowed for a shutter speed of\u00a01\/3 second at f\/22 to get the veil effect of the water dropping off the pot and smooths out the rapids.<\/p>\n

The original image has a lot of dead trees and limbs to the upper left and right of the image above the pot. \u00a0Photoshop’s magical Content-Aware fill function\u00a0made quick work of those annoying composition elements.<\/p>\n
