This is an "Old Faithful Geiser" in Calistoga, CA. With only 3 in the entire world I knew I wanted to see it. It shoots up about every 40 minutes, because it's predictable, that is was makes it an "Old Faithful". This one reaches a very hot temperature of 350 degrees and then blows water into the air to cool itself down. It only lasts for about 5 minutes.

Great idea for the theme - at first I saw the photo and wondered how a fountain fitted the theme. Then I read on and realised just how well the photo fitted, given it's of Old Faithful, and not a fountain! Lucky you seeing it, i'd love to see it one day!
Oh, I've been there!! On my only US trip back in 1999 when O and I decided to try our luck for a job i San Francisco. We took a busride through Sonoma Valley and had lunch there. *Want to go back!!*
Oh, and I did get a job offer, but then I sort of panicked a bit and turned it down! I will probably kick myself for the rest of my life for doing that. SF is still our absolute dream to live and I firmly believe that I will one day live there. :)
