Crater Lake - day 2

I'm cursed I think ... or very lucky

Bad weather seems to follow me. On this trip I've seen more snow, wind, rain and cold than I'd every anticipated. And it continues here in Crater Lake. It started raining last night and rained and rained ... and the fog which I had so desperately tried to get away came back in massive quantities. All day the crater was shrouded in fog and I sat in my truck and chewed my finger nails and cursed the weather god once again. When will I get some luck? Well ... it's said that a photographer's best friend is bad weather. That's when you get the most dramatic skies and the most awesome sunsets. So, keep on coming bad weather.

Crater Lake Sunset ... day 2

After a day of rain I noticed, as I huddled in my little truck, that the sky was clearing. With high hopes, I drove the 7 miles to the crater edge and this is what awaited me. I hurriedly set up my camera and started snapping. Lots of frames later I had my image. Used the same processing as I always do with HDR panos and now I present you with Crater Lake at it's best.
