Community Lens for May 11
While visiting a friend in Oregon, Judy Cleveland took this photo of Crater Lake. “We took a drive out to southern Oregon so she could show me this beautiful wonder of the world!” she wrote. “I was in awe of its beauty and pretty darn proud of my camera phone pic.” Crater Lake is in the Cascade Mountains of southern Oregon. It was formed by the now-collapsed volcano, Mount Mazama. Wizard Island is a cinder cone near the western edge of the lake. The Rim Drive, a road surrounding the lake, offers views of the national park’s volcanic formations. The park’s numerous trails include Sun Notch, with views of the Phantom Ship, a small island.
