Description
Morning Glory Pool, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The pool was named by the wife of assistant park superintendent, Charles McGowan in 1883. She called it "Convolutus", the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles. Through the years Morning Glory's appearance has changed as its temperature has dropped. This beautiful pool has fallen victim to vandalism. People have thrown literally tons of coins, trash, rocks, and logs into the pool. Much of the debris subsequently became embedded in the sides and vent of the spring, affecting water circulation and accelerating the loss of thermal energy. This photo was taken nearly 6 years ago. A recent attempt to retake this shot revealed quite a decline in color.
