Image rights on "Yellow stone" picture[edit]

Dear Mister Carsten Steger, As an educational researcher at the University of The Reunion Island (France, Indian Ocean), I am directing a collective scientific book on "educating for major risks" in educational sciences. This book edited at EAC editions (open access, Paris) is ready to be submitted to the editor for expertise and I am looking foreward to illustrate its cover. The picture that you edited on Wikipedia on the YellowStone National Park, the Prismatic Spring [1] appears to be absolutely appropriate to symbolize the extremophile conditions of the human environment. Would you kindly like to accept to allow me to use this picture as a free support for the cover of our book? This edition will be in open access as well as in paper version. Otherwise, how is it possible to get the publication rights of this lovely picture? Of course the origin and author of the picture will be mentioned into the book. Hoping to get a positive answer to my unusual request and thaks for the paying attention to my mail, Best warm regards, Prof. Nathalie Wallian 2A01:CB22:890:7800:1CCE:9346:F6D7:6B6F 12:34, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
