“Fly Geyser” – Black Rock Desert, Nevada – Jared Ropelanto – Featured Photographer
I have only seen a few images of Fly Geyser, but they all have been breathtaking. It is weird to think it was actually man made (read story below ). The colors are spectacular and it would probably be a major tourist destination if it was on federal land. I am glad to see one of those “Hey, I never knew this place even existed” places still exists right here in the USA. For more spectacular landscape images check out one or all of Jared’s websites below. They are all worth the click!

Enter Jared:
Fly Geyser is an amazing gem near the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. This “accidental” natural phenomenon is truly a site to behold. Sometime in the 60′s a rancher was drilling a water well on his land when he hit a geothermal pocket. Since then, this location has been constantly flowing hot water and minerals, which deposit and create the colors and terraces you see. Shot in the chilly air of dusk, the geyser steams its way through another sunset. The geyser itself is so colorful that I wasn’t even disappointed to have a meager sunset.
Shot with a Canon 5DMKII and a 16-35mm lense at 24mm and f/11 (to retain sharpness). ISO was set to 125 and the base exposure was 6 seconds. I shot a second shot at 3 seconds and focused on the background to blend and maximize exposure and sharpness throughout.

The structure, mid right, reminds me of a calico kitten. Otherwise I think of a sci-fi setting. Great photo!
Wow! I had to share this image with all of my Facebook friends!!

Great shots!!!
What an amazing photograph. I have often seen landscapes and said that if someone painted it, everyone would think they took a lot of artistic license even though it was photo realistic!
Looks like a lobster claw.
A beautiful capture of this amazing place. And, yes, I had no idea it even existed before now.
Very surreal. Serendipity of finding these gems is precious. Thanks for sharing!

Never heard about – Fly Geyser – had to look it up …. this is an absolute stunning photo ! Thanks for bringing it to me.
That’s an extraordinary shot!
I lived one state over in AZ for 20+ years and have never heard of this place. I am going to have to check it out. Amazing photo!
This is an interesting shot.
Great photo. Woooooooow
Mind blowing visual
another good one!
For one moment, I thought it was digitally enhanced. Great shot and what a wonderful place to be!
That is amazing. And I also like the fact that it’s not enhanced or photoshopped.
So artistic that it can appear as an oil painting. Great shot and such detail. Hope this gets to an exhibit!
Beautiful photo — Isn’t the world a marvelous place? I’m glad the farmer was drilling in that spot!
Looks like something that belongs in a science fiction story! An amazing shot!
You are right. I didn’t know this place existed!
this is so surreal looking, it’s even more impressive it’s “as is” and not digitally created; great shot, thanks!
