First Rays on Crater Lake, OR by srubey

I made this photograph on a chilly January morning in 2014, after snowshoeing along the crater rim and camping out the night before. A recent storm had dumped fresh powder across the area. The park ranger informed me that I was one of two people camped out in the entire National Park backcountry that evening…the silence was indicative of the solitude.

Sparks Lake, Deschutes County. Walter, my two pampered pooches and I got to spend the night out at Sparks Lake last week. I got blue bird skies so I just waited for the stars to come out. This is a two exposure blend.
