A breathtaking high-angle landscape of Crater Lake at sunset. In the foreground, a steep, sandy, and rocky slope is dotted with evergreen trees. A single deer is visible on the slope, looking out toward the water. Below, the deep, ink-blue water of the lake surrounds Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone. In the distance, the rugged caldera rim is partially shrouded in soft, white clouds that are spilling over the edge like a waterfall. The sky above is a pale blue, streaked with thin clouds illuminated with soft gold and pink hues from the setting sun.
Caught a local enjoying the view at Crater Lake. π¦ Watching the clouds spill over the caldera rim as the sun sets is an experience that stays with you. Oregon, youβre showing off again.
