Info Last weekend, I went to Lassen Volcanic National Park, four hours north of San Francisco. I took this shot at a place called "Bumpass Hell", named after the early settler Kendall Bumpass who broke through the thin crust and burned his leg, which consequently had to be amputated. As I'm eager to get more people to share their images on Wikimedia Commons, I also shot a YouTube video (English subtitles available) explaining how I find subjects for my photography subjects. It's kind of a making-off as well as a way to show what I'm most passionate about – Taking photos for Wikipedia. c/u/n by --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:30, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Do you have any more room to the right that you could show us? I'd love to see more of that rock. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:46, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ikan, I've increased the room on the left and on the right. It's not a rock btw, it's sand. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:59, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral The colors are very interesting, but I wish there was more space to breathe on the sides of the pool. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:07, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Like King says, quite an interesting photo. I think that sometimes, a clear photo of something of scientific interest is enough reason for a photo to be an FP. Did it smell sulphurous there? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ikan: Yes, it smelled very sulphurous. Please let me know if you're ever planning on coming to California. This place is awesome and I'd be more than happy to show you or anyone else here around. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's very nice of you. I do go to California fairly frequently, usually once a year, but I haven't been to that part of the state. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:59, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've always wondered where they make the Ice Blue Kool Aid... — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:04, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Rhododendrites :-) Thanks! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: That's why it's a national park . Ice Blue Kool Aid is extremely important for the economy--Booth sift 05:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
