Crater Lake close up
Crater Lake clear
This isn’t the normal, “postcard” shot of Crater Lake, but sometimes you miss the trees for the forest when you look at Crater Lake only as a whole. The details are quite lovely as well as the big picture.

Miyajima priest
The key to maintaining a business for a long time, especially this one which has been going on for hundreds of years, is to extract cash for services rendered. I’m not sure how much this lady had to pay for individual treatment from the priest. However, it’s well documented that Katsu Kaishu (勝海舟), in trying to give his famous peace sword to Itsukushima Shrine (厳島神社), was denied the privilege. Instead, he had to pay them to take it. I wonder if they still have it, or if they sold it to someone else.
Moonrise on the Rogue River
#mynwrcphoto @NWRafting
A couple weeks ago I posted a photo of the moon setting in the early hours over the Wild and Scenic portion of the Rogue River. Today’s photo is from two night’s prior when the moon wasn’t quite full. Also, I used a long exposure which meant no details on the moon like that prior photo.
Hiking in the Trinity Alps
Hiking to Big Bear Lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness
Yesterday we went on another hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. This was, I think, the eighth lake we have hiked to in this area. Others included Trail Gulch Lake, Little Boulder Lake, and Smith Lake.
The trail to Big Bear Lake (and Wee Bear Lake–AKA Little Bear Lake–which we didn’t go to) is only 4.5 miles, but it felt like much more. The scenery on the trail changes frequently, but the nearly 3,000 feet of elevation gain does not. I’m sore today.
