[Geysers] Old Faithful eruption Aug 1st 0224pm webcam

[Ron Keam]

I have sometimes seen curtains of spray falling from the plume of 
Pohutu Geyser that look like this phantom (presumably) jet.  Caught 
edge-on an undulatng  curtain can certainly assume such an 
appearance.  Either side of the main 'jet' there clearly is the usual 
cloud of spray.
