This photo by Lincoln Rogers shows a blasted double stump in the foreground appearing to be guarding the entrance to this surreal scene of both dead and live trees surrounding the heat and steam of a portion of the Twin Geyser feature inside the West Thumb Geyser Basin of the famous Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA.

According to the Yellowtone National Park website - Twin Geysers are actually two vents together which have the nickname of Maggie and Jiggs, taken from early 20th century cartoon characters. The geysers have had periods of long dormancy. A 1934 violent eruption reached 120 feet and ejected water, mud and sticks. When Twin Geysers are active, eruptions can occur every four to eight hours until they become dormant again. Even during dormant periods the geysers constantly bubble and boil, discharging an even flow of water. Temperatures of 213° to 218° have been recorded during hot periods. Iron oxides have stained the area around the vent.

Lincoln Rogers enjoys capturing through his lens the people, places, events and landscapes of the cowboy, the horse and the American West. He is a freelance writer and photographer with thousands of stories, articles and photographs published in dozens of magazines and websites, including Western Horseman Magazine, Persimmon Hill Magazine, The Fence Post, Ketchpen, GRIT, The Wrangler, PhelpsSports.com, etc.
