Crater Lake Panoramic Photograph

Filed under:  

I had always wanted to see Crater Lake and finally got a chance when I was returning to southern California from Washington. I reached the north rim of Crater Lake just as the sun was rising. There was no one else around, even on the drive through the dark leading into Crater Lake National Park I had seen nobody else that morning. The view was stunning, sublime and I felt like I had the place entirely to myself, so naturally I took a self portrait. This panorama is composed of four separate photographs stitched into a long narrow strip.

Self portrait at sunrise, panorama of Crater Lake.  Crater Lake is the six-mile wide lake inside the collapsed caldera of volcanic Mount Mazama. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh-deepest in the world. Its maximum recorded depth is 1996 feet (608m). It lies at an altitude of 6178 feet (1880m).,  Copyright Phillip Colla, image #19130, all rights reserved worldwide.
