Shannon - What first attracted me to this photo, was the range of colors. I had to see a larger version and was not dissapointed. I am awed by the frustrative landscape, and the color vapor comming from the pit. I can just about imagine the smell of sulphur in the air. You can actually see some of it in the yellow rocks. For hiking to the location you get a 5 for bringing your camera to take this great photo you get 6. The photo, now that gets high marks. Good job. Do More Please.

Hi Shannon, nice to meat you! I, like Jerry, am enjoying the soft beautiful range of colors!! Beyond that, the gorgeous variety of textures is very appealing also!! Fumes of sulphur, well, that is another story, but I think the image is well done, and all the elements blend to produce a fine photo, high marks from me also! Sincerely, Marilyn

Nice image, I agree with your opinion of not wanting to find out about the legend, it looks like a very intimidating location.

I was asked to give comment. Agree it's a nice image. A mysterious place I'd loved to visit!

a mysterious looking place indeed.. and i shall follow suit in saying the warm colors really do give an air of intrigue to this photo.. tho i know the smell was less than pleasant, the sight had to have been breathtaking (no pun intended).. its amazing how many places on this planet can seem so alien.. great capture..

I live in the shadow of Mt Lassen and have enjoyed this smelly spot. You did a good job of capturing the mystery and color of these sulfer pots.

Strange landscape! Is that fog or steam? Interesting place to visit but if it smells like sulfer, it must be hard to stay there for very long, Good capture.

Agree, this is a great capture that looks like it could have been taken in another world...high marks from me!

Excellent shot of Bumpass Hell! Your composition and color are right on. Bravo brother, well done!
