Photograph of Daisy Geyser erupting in the distance. A clearing at center narrows towards the Daisy Geyser in the distance. Pine trees stand in a row on each side of the clearing, receding towards the center of the image. Steam erupts from the geyser and wafts to the right. In the foreground, a stream flows between the gap in the trees at right. A person stands in partial view along the left edge; they face towards the geyser in the distance. White streaks emanate from the lower corners of the image. The largest stretches from the lower right corner and up to the left, obscuring the stream in the foreground.
