[Geysers] What is this geyser?

The feature in the photo is Solitary Geyser.  If you look closely you can
see the man-made cut in the sinter in the upper left portion of the crater.
This is where it used to be piped from for the shower house.  As the pipe is
gone, the photo must be post 1952.  Is there any info regarding the year the
photo was taken?

Hi all,

I found this photo on E-Bay, and it was labeled as Great Fountain Geyser.
I've not been close to the vent of Great Fountain, but even so I don't
think this is what it looks like. This looks more like Fountain's crater.
What do you think? I'm having trouble reconciling the background landscape
with the Fountain-like crater. Perhaps a photo taken from an unusual
angle, I dunno.
