I captured this photo while floating in the thermal pools of the Rio Dulce (Guatemala) which are basically thermal vents that heat the water near the shoreline. The extremely hot water (like burn your hand if you put it too close to the thermal vent) floats to the top so the water on the top is very warm while the water below is cool so it gives a great effect to swimming. The soil is full of sulfur which the locals believe is good for the skin so they treat acne and other skin ailments with the soil near the thermal vents. Also of note, Tommy Lee Jones has a house on the Rio Dulce and a very, very sweeeeet yacht. I asked him if he wanted to hang out with us but he said he was too busy kicking ass in the film world at the moment.
