this is aCrater Lake in Oregon,
the deepest lake in USA,
inside the crater of the volcano which erupted 8000 years ago, blowing entire mountain off,
with the powers 150 times bigger than Mountain Helen explosion,
throwing ashes over 8 states and few canadien provinces

what you see in the first pic is a volcano inside the lake which is inside of a crater!

WOW!!

That is awesome!!!

Thats truly awesome ... and not in the 'this hotdog tastes awesome' kinda way, but in the old fashioned dictionary definition 'inspiring awe or admiration or wonder'.

:zoinks:

Very nice. :)

Let us know when you've got more pics ready.

I didn't make many in Oregon,
we go there every year,
but I promise,
I'll bring a bunch from Poland, Czech republic, Austria, Germany, Hungry in September

Excellent pics Serge

i thought Lake Tahoe was the deepest lake
so deep they cant find the bottom

I get mocked for being a "tree hugger" but scenes like that and the nature I grew up with in Wyoming (beauty that you could never do justice with a picture) just make me feel mother nature's magic.

Serge,

You look better every year. I swear you are getting younger.

Colin,
this si all my wife's fault,
she MAKES me feel 18
;-)))

Slav,
with me you don't have to _think_,
just listening is good enough
;-)))

next year we'll go to the Hell Canyon in Oregon which is deeper than Grand Canyon
;-)))

uh oh Serge is going to turn into a treehugger ;-)

I really need to organize a webmaster jaunt to the high mountains of Wyoming, one look at the Tetons or a good day hike up the Tetons and total perspectives can change

they are almost enough to make me believe in God ;-)

HOMO!



;-)))

from Robbins book "Another roadside attraction"

There is a mountain in Tibet with unusual depression on the top.
Buddihsts beleive it's the place where Buddah decendet on Earth
Moslems beleive it's where Mohammed stepped on Earth,
archeologists beleive it's the result of the volcanic activity 80,000 years ago.

who is right????
























answer: "They all are!"
;-))))

HOMO!
