A favorite place in My World is Crater Lake in Oregon. It is remote and incredibly beautiful. Friends of mine were there recently and sent me these photos to share with all of you. Click on any of the photos to enlarge them.
This first shot was taken on an overcast day with only a little sun shining on the water, maybe not the best light, but you don't always get what you need at any given time. However, it is still one of my favorite and if it looks familiar it is because I use it as the header for my blog.
The picture below is of Crater Lodge, which sits on the southwest rim of the crater at 7,100 feet above sea level and a 1,000 above the lake.
This is a 3-shot composite panorama of the crater and lake, about 150 degree view and the only way you can see the whole lake in one photo.
This shot is an early morning view of a portion of the crater rim sticking up above the lake that has been formed in the volcano's caldera over the past 5,000 years.

Beautiful! I have always been enchanted by Crater Lake through pictures, but have missed it in my trips to the Northwest. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lake. Perhaps being so remote will help keep it pristine. ;-)

Ooh, Crater Lake - we couldn't go there on our Oregon trip unfortunately. Thanks for posting awesome pictures of one of my favourite lakes.
ReplyDeleteBoy, is that first shot ever beautiful...
ReplyDeletechildhood memories kicking in...spent many a summer with parents traveling to and from oregon on vacations...crater lake was one of the stops...
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
The photos are wonderful. I was wondering if you might write a little about some of the experiences you have had there and what this place offers. Your writing is beautiful, too.
ReplyDeletelove ur photos!! and Oregon is amazing place...
ReplyDeleteLuis
That volcano must have been pretty fearsome when it was active to have a crater that size!I just wonder what the pH level of the lake is like considering its history. I've heard that the sulfur dioxide emitted by a live volcano can basically turn a body of water into a body of sulfuric acid if there's enough activity.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fascinating place as well as a beautiful one!
Wonderful nature! Is it really a crater? Beautiful crater, view and lake:) I wish I could see it "in live"
ReplyDeleteA beautiful lake and one I would love to see. Alas, this will probably never happen so it's nice to view the photos.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL PHOTOS AND PLACE!!
ReplyDeletehave a nice week!!
So beautiful, Sylvia. Every one of them.
