My World for Tuesday #4


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.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
