We were looking at this view while sitting in the Crater Lake lodge having lunch. A big hail storm hit and left this beautiful sky behind. I always love shooting after a storm. The color saturation is rich and the clouds are usually fabulous. I will post a shot of the actual lake next, but I just loved these simple shots of the grounds around the lodge. It is a great reminder to look around and take supporting images. The main subject or scene is not the only important thing to document. A side view or background can be just as good as the main action.
