A round rock structure that covers a mineral spring with rock 'fences' bordering the water flow. The water and ground below it appear orange because of oxidized iron. This is in a forest, so trees are in the background, ferns are growing in between the rocks, and moss is visible.

Rusty Springs, aka Iron Mike, a mineral spring warmed by geothermal heat and turned orange by oxidized iron, outside of Longmire, on Mt. Tahoma (Rainier), Washington
