[Geysers] Haynes Giant

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Here's a bit of fun with the F. Jay Haynes photo of Giant, which appeared  on 
the cover of the February 2006 Sput. I own two lantern slide copies of that  
same photo, identified as Haynes #13063. Until now, I did not have any kind of 
 date [1887] for this photo, although that is not necessarily the year of the 
 eruption. One of slides (my #13063-2), though clearly the same image, but 
was  "cropped" in making the lantern slide. The result is that the slide shows 
more  detail.
 
So anyway, as I said the other day, there's more to this picture than meets  
the eye. Hope this works: here is an enlarged portion of the photo. Points of  
special interest:
1. Note the rather large steam cloud rising from low on the left (to us,  
back) side of the Giant mound/platform.
2. Note that the high point of the formation must be Bijou Geyser.
3. One must try to visualize the angle of this "looking upstream from the  
other side of the river image", but is that largest steam cloud really from  
Giant? Could it actually be Catfish, with Giant more or less behind it?
4. Note what absolutely has to be people (at least three of them) standing  
on the formation!
 
Fun.
