Top of Wizard Island

Crater Lake, Oregon, was formed by a volcano. There is an island in the middle of it, called Wizard Island, also formed by a later volcano.

@taffy and I took a boat out into the lake, then hiked up to the top of Wizard Island (it took about 90 minutes to hike up). You can see a pano of the top, above... including the crater inside. Quite the experience. :)

Thanks for taking time to stop by, as always.

Marvelous composition and clouds. I wonder re a small crop off bottom to get rid of some of the less exciting area?

What a place to explore and a great image.

A crater within a crater. Amazing. Love this landscape and that dramatic sky is wonderful.

@jgpittenger Thanks. I’ll take a look at that. Often, I crop with preordained crop ratios, if I ever want to print, but it’s definitely worth a look. Volcanic rock is not very exciting. :)

I like the pano and the way you have the crater just under the larger crater.

So this is what I missed! Thanks for sharing . . . and for showing what an interesting scene it was. Those clouds are wonderful for framing the scene below it,.
