Minerva Terrace looks pretty much dead and inactive in this footage from 2001. (But see the next video for a very different story just an amble away.) There is a bit of water, and where it is wet you can see the pastel and deeper colours that go with the life thrives in those conditions.
I wonder what became of New Blue Spring, at the top of the terrace? Things change fast with the springs at Mammoth and in the unlikely event that it's still there, it certainly isn't new any more.
I don't know why the video is so jumpy compared to others. They were all taken with the same camera and had the same treatment, which included (years ago) being put into DVD format and then (for upload to YouTube) converted back to an up-loadable format - all with dire consequences for the quality.
I still have the original digital tapes, but with no means to play them at the moment. Maybe one day I'll come back to them. But life is short.
