A great gift for the hiker. Prints in this set are taken from my original gouache-watercolor paintings and are reduced
in price from the individual prints. The
world's most famous geyser, Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Old Faithful can vary in height from
100-180 feet. It has been estimated that
the amount of water it emits ranges from 3,700 gallons to 8,400 gallons.
Travertine Terraces are formed from limestone, as thermal
water rises through it, carrying high amounts of the dissolved calcium
carbonate. At the surface, calcium carbonate is deposited, forming travertine,
the chalky white mineral forming terrace. Due to the rapid depositing, these
features constantly and quickly change.
Hot springs are the most common hydro-thermal features in
Yellowstone park. Their plumbing has no constrictions. Super-heated water cools
as it reaches the surface, sinks, and is replaced by hotter water from below.
This circulation, called convection, prevents water from reaching the
temperature needed to set off an eruption. Many hot springs give rise to
streams of heated water. The deep blue
color of the water in the center of the pool results from the intrinsic blue
color of water. The effect is strongest in the center of the spring, because of
its sterility and depth.
Prints are 5" x 7", 8" x 10", or 11 in.
x 14 in., signed, and mail in a rigid photo mailer. All prints include a white border
approximately ½ in. to allow for framing.
Mats and frames are not included with the regular 5 x 7, 8 x 10, and 11
x 14-inch prints. Printed on 110 lb.
Matte White Stock. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.
Thanks, Lee
