Description
Crater Lake, Oregon
We live about an hour north of where I lived and worked for 30 years, so there are a lot of people we don't see as often as we might like. It's so easy to get together on the spur of the moment when you can be somewhere in 15 minutes!
Last night we went into town and visited our good friends, Erik & Martha. They cooked us dinner, and we had a wonderful time visiting and hanging out together. They're some of our favorite people, and it had been far too long since we'd seen them.
Erik is the one who got me involved in computer art and introduced me to Renderosity
So thank you, E&M, for a wonderful evening, great food, and outstanding company. You're the best! :)

Such a beautiful photo! Wonderful to catch up with old friends.
This is a GREAT image. Love the brighter section of the tree stump... the overall compo is great!
This is a WoW shot Tara. Beautiful light .Mick
OK I want this one. I agree. WOW! We went to Crater Lake when I was about 8. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories and showing me an adult perspective of this timeless and beautiful place.
Excellent shooting Tara :)
good shot this is also. good friends and food too
Wonderful and extremely beautiful photo and gift to your dear friends.
what a beautiful shot! the tree stump has such wonderful character.
What an absolutely lovely shot! Wow!!!
Scrolling down I thought when I first saw the top of this that it was a stone pillar like those found in Monument Valley. A spectacular image, perfect composition and outstanding details. It is always nice to see old friends.
Now that is a neat place, I could hang out there all day.
stunning in every way !
Amazing photo of an amazing view.
OH wow, this is simply fantastic!!! LOVE the perspective!!
Beautiful.
Amazing capture Tara. Glad you enjoyed some wonderful time together in the company with good friend. God bless.
Great light in this lovely shot.
Wonderful photo. Great idea for a shot.
Spectacular photo... Love it...
Beautiful work!
This one is just beyond words, Tara! A photo that belongs in National Geographic.. You know, with a little imagination, that tree trunk could almost pass for Sauron's Dark Tower..... What a beauty!
Beautifully composed shot. In most photos (& in reality, when weather conditions are right), Crater Lake is colored a very deep, intense blue & instantly becomes the star of the show. Here it clearly plays second fiddle to that fascinating tree stump that exudes character. And the reds & oranges in the top part of the stump seem to glow from within...
Beautiful image and lovely story to go along with it. A unique and artistic view of this famous place. :)
Love that fascinating place !
Glorious! Works totally for me.. Lovely shot Tara. Rob
