Little Crater Lake
Little Crater Lake
The texture of the walls were interesting and the water so clear that you wouldn't know you were underwater if there wasn't particulate floating on the surface.
Tree underwater
It's interesting to me that so many trees are felled here. I would like to return just to see what becomes of them.
Ascending
The water is so clear, that it is easy to wander.
Above and below
The trees tower above their fallen friends, as if peering in at us.
Little Crater Lake from above
Here, you see the view of the little lake that the trees see. On the water's edge, it looks as if a row of trees is lining up and marching to the center of the lake to join their friends.
Two worlds at Little Crater Lake
I enjoy sharing what it looks like to submerge between the two worlds, above water and below water. The experience of leaving one world behind is freeing and exciting.
On the brink
Nearly at the surface, seeing my buddy rise to the ceiling of this lake reminded me that we indeed were still underwater.
Sunset on the mountain
When I take photos, especially at sunset, I try not to forget to look all around, and not just at my subject. This is the view I saw when I looked back from Mount Saint Helens.
