Sulfur is a fascinating element. It is the fifth most common element in nature on earth. It is usually expressed as mineral sulfide or sulfate. You may have smelled the "rotten eggs" of some natural mineral water coming out of the spring. These hot springs have long been a healthy and pleasant hot spring destination, but they can also provide incredible barren beauty. Photographer Jonas Daley used his infrared camera to find beautiful colors and captured the beauty of sulfur in Aiken Spring in Gobi Desert, Qinghai Province, China.

Between the north of China and the south of Mongolia is the Gobi Desert-from sand dunes to mountains to deep springs. Aiken Spring, sometimes called "Eye of the Devil", is located in Qinghai Province, China. Its name may come from the fact that it fell from a height of 2 122 feet to the cracked land, from which sulfur water emerged. Its mineral content makes the surrounding area barren. However, minerals and their gentle washing on the earth form bright colors. The hue of the earth is interrupted by shocking pink and bright sea green.
