Snowmelt | Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake, located in Southern Oregon, in my humble opinion, is too big for a single frame—plain and simple. But that blue…that blue might be the purest saturation of blue I’ve ever seen in nature. This deep blue comes a myriad of factors but, two big ones are the fact that the lake’s source is almost entirely snowfall and rainfall leading to very little sediment. The other factor is how deep the lake is. Crater Lake is a whopping 1,943 feet, leading to more pronounced absorption of wavelengths other than blue. I arrived at Crater Lake a week after the road to the lake had been opened and the remnants of the snow were everywhere, even altering my plans to camp at the campground.
