When an area becomes over saturated with water from rain, snowfall, or in the case of these inspirational images: geysers, urbanized non-porous areas (i.e. parking lots), mines and some industrial drainage pipes, runoff is created. Runoff can be potentially harmful to, well, everything, as pollutants can be carried off into the water systems. While some runoff is just a signal that iron rich rocks and soils are in the area or there is a geyser filled with hyperthermophiles nearby, whatever the source, the associated stream of unexpected color running through a naturally colored setting illuminating its path from a source not seen, is both a great inspiration and a drab reminder of our impact on the earth and the necessity for us to realize what these sources are.
