Hot Breath excited crowd waits impatiently earthquakes shake the ground lava heated boiling water pushes towards the surface hot steam spews from the vent anticipation grows, ready for the eruption a mighty whoosh and the vented steam reaches for the blue sky for a duration of ninety seconds the crowd is awed by natures power with a gurgle the steam cloud settles back into the earth to await another cycle

My wife and I went to Yellowstone once and saw the geysers. Not in the winter though. Still impressive. Thanks Gershon
