   Fast exposure time, so I’ll guess this shows a popping bubble in mud, but I have no idea where or how…

   Kelp Debris on a beach? Or dead plankton on an ocean bed?

   Looks like a bursting bubble in a ‘mud pot’ at Yellowstone.

   Pre-explosive re-fried beans made by my last GF?

    Looks very abstract. I’d rather not know what it really is, looks cooler that way 🙂

    Silver Hage: yes, a tantric unveiling… as P^2 saw burping mud within seconds of my posting no less (but volcanic gas is mostly not methane). And the flickr folk collectively converged to the correct answer. Msamaclean nailed the “what”, and AGrinberg got the “where”, at least county-wise, as Costa Rica.

    But Arenal is much bigger!
    

    It is burping boiling mud pot near Volcán del Rincón de la Vieja, with fetching signs that this mud bath is a bit harsh for a dip. Temperatures: 192 – 248°F

    Leino: tried not to get hot feet, but I had to jump the fence. =)

    I’ll post some other photos from the region.

    Glad you didn’t fall in like that guy at Mt. St. Helens.
