Sunrise, Mt. Scott, and Crater Lake

I had the opportunity to spend a weekend at Crater Lake Oregon recently, and

even though it was mid-August there were strong thunderstorms each

evening that produced 10 small fires from lightning strikes nearby. The

smoke, combined with high humidity over the lake, made for somewhat hazy

conditions at sunrise. On this morning, the sun appeared briefly and then

disappeared into the clouds rising high enough to cast this golden torch

across the lake. This is one of my favorites from that weekend. I hope

someone likes it.
