[Geysers] Steamboat Photos

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Somewhat belatedly, it occurred to me that since two of these photos were  
found on Wikipedia, then they probably reside in Wikimedia. They do.
 
The photographer of the two photos Jeff identified as "448px" and "800px"  
were taken on May 23, 2005 by a person identified as Hsing-Mei Wu. Don't 
know  that person myself. 
 
Use of the photos is licensed under Creative Commons Share-Alike 3.0.
 
If you are not familiar with Creative Commons and Wikimedia, there are  
several levels of license. In essence, Share-Alike allows the use of photos,  
even for commercial purposes, provided that the image is properly credited 
and  not altered. There are thousands of available photos, in this case a 
dozen or so  showing Steamboat. I search for photos in the Landscapes pages:
 
_http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Landscapes_ 
(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Landscapes) 

Should you find yourself wanting to use such a photo, do carefully  check 
any licensing restrictions -- as I note above, there are several levels of  
license, all fully explained within Wikimedia. These levels allow a range 
from  no restrictions whatsoever to personal, non-commercial use.
 
Note, by the way, that the third of Jeff's photos -- the one whose source  
has been under discussion on this list -- is NOT in Wikimedia.

I found  the three attached photographs on the internet.  Two were on  
Wikipedia.

Can anyone identify the photographer(s)?  I will assume  that the third 
photograph was taken by Mike Keller, since his name is  associated with the 
file.

I like these photographs because they show  the violence of the eruption, 
and also the tremendous volume of water that is  being thrown out.

Enjoy,

Jeff  Cross
