Crater Lake in Oregon. This lake was created by a volcanic explosion which blew the top off of Mount Mazama. Now it is one of the deepest lakes in the world. When the water is perfectly still, the lake has a vivid deep blue color to it.

This was taken with a Nikon D90, Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, with slight post-processing in Adobe Lightroom 3.

Taken near Oberjoch, Bavaria, Germany. The mountain you can see in the image is the Hirschberg, from where I took my picture "Foggy Valley with Milky Way". I hope you like it!

While the entire ski resort was overcast and had to deal with a snow storm I decided to try my luck higher up the mountain. The clouds suddenly disappeared and all I could think about was capturing the moment. The contrast between the storm under the clouds with the Sun shining above made this an even more mesmerizing moment.
