After looking through my folders, it turns out that this was in a portfolio of pictures by a photographer named James Beal, and, of all places, it was installed when I also installed Roxio Toast, the program I use for burning CDs. I have no idea why this person's photos were packaged with a CD burning program, and it is a little odd that a geyser photo would be part of the group Beal selected to give to Roxio for the CD. Turns out there's a little biography of James Beal included in the folder, and he is apparently quite the accomplished photographer. Here's what it says about his travels to Chile:        "In 1993, Beal was hired to accompany a group of river guides on an exploratory trip of uncharted rivers in the Amazon basin of Ecuador.  From Ecuador, he traveled south to Chile where he would stay for four years.  When James was not running rivers in Patagonia, he photographed for international magazines, mining companies and advertising agencies.  In August of 1996, he was commissioned by the British organization Operation Raleigh.  For the next year, Beal traveled the length of Patagonia to document the progress of nine projects. These efforts ranged from building structures in rural communities to scaling snow-capped peaks and glaciers. The images Beal captured were used as promotional images for the many sponsors of the two expeditions both in Chile and overseas in Britain." Beal now lives in New Hampshire, so it says, but the link to his web site, www.jamesbealphoto,com, doesn't work. And that's all I know about this geyser picture--is it most likely El Tatio? And has anyone seen other Chile geyser photos by Beal? Anyway, just thought I would share it with the group.
