" So calm, so calm.../ At the edge of gray silken waters, / Like an afternoon with Monet. "
- " Becoming the Elk Now " from "Shards of Yellowstone " a work of poems created in 1991 - 1993 by Yellowstone National Park " writer-in-residence Katya Williamson.
In a landscape unique on this planet a deep mist is sliding by, right to left, past an overflow channel in the Norris Geyser Basin. It brings to mind a painting by Impressionist master Claude Monet. Suddenly there was startlingly clear blue sky radiating bright light which revealed the colors of lime-green cyanidium algae and orange cyanobacteria alive inside the groundwater heated by geothermal activity .
