Geologist and the Ogallala Formation, Texas
Water bubbles and gushes from a "Boiling Spring" on Birdwood Creek near North Platte, Nebraska in the Sandhills. Water is welling up from the aquifer in the Sandhills. In the vertical exposure of sand some 50 to 60 feed high above the spring you can see both water born sediments (below) and wind born sand dunes (above.) In the background is Hydrologist Jim Goeke.
Interstingly, the springs vary in the output depending on atmospheric conditions, dying down with high pressure and going wild with low preasure.
