Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park by Ruby Hour Photo Art ~ Marcela Herdova

Morning Glory Pool is a gemstone set into the earth—one of Yellowstone’s most mesmerizing natural wonders. Its vibrant colors seem almost unreal: a brilliant center of deep sapphire blue radiates outward into rings of turquoise, emerald, and warm, golden orange. Steam rises gently from the surface, carrying the crisp scent of minerals into the cool morning air.

The pool’s colors shimmer with the first light of day, glowing like a living watercolor. Surrounding the spring, the pale, mineral-rich ground creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the pool’s luminous hues. Named for the flower it resembles, Morning Glory Pool opens like a natural bloom, its spiraling colors shaped by heat-loving microorganisms that thrive in its depths.

Standing before it feels like witnessing a quiet miracle—an otherworldly palette created not by a brush, but by the earth’s own restless energy.

Print Options

Prints mounted on Aluminom Dibond offer a long-lasting, gallery-ready piece. The photographs are printed on a matte paper which reduces reflections (using Fuji Crystal Archive DP II paper) and then mounted on Aluminum Dibond (so not infused on metal). Aluminum Dibond is a 0.11 in. (3mm) thick composite material with three layers. Two white-coated aluminum plates enclose a black polyethylene core. Viewed from the sides, the material appears black. Although extremely robust, Aluminum Dibond has a low weight, meaning it is also perfect for large-format pieces. You photo print is laminated with a UV and dust protective thin film and mounted on the Aluminum Dibond.

Prints mounted on Aluminum Dibond backing arrive ready to hang with aluminum rails attached to the back for easy installation out of the box.
