Spooky side of the Crystal Clear Crater Lake Crater Lake probably has inspired hundreds of people. One can say no place else on earth is such pure deep lake, sooo blue, sheer surrounding cliffs of around two thousand feet high combined with a violent volcanic past. It definitely is a place of immeasurable beauty but did u know there is a spooky side to the place. That particular day or rather evening, the sun was setting just behind my back. I was not aware that it was full moon and that the moon rise coincided with the sunset. I was happy to see the moon, just I was about to leave. Deciding get some shots, set up the tripod to capture the moon. The shades from the twilight were extraordinarily bright and the blue lake was pretty much under spooky pinkish blanket. For a moment I was able to get a glimpse of the eerie and spooky side of the lake, that not many people are aware of .... Happy Halloween :) P.S: The tree trunk was enhanced to highlight the texture, age and details and the moon was slightly enlarged, but the colors were as is from the scene !
Salt Creek Falls, Oregon Oregon is blessed with so many many waterfalls. Still at 286 feet, Salt Creek is definitely one of the most impressive. Located at Hwy 58 around 20 miles east of Oakridge, it is easily accessible. The view point is just 20 feet from the parking, but it is well worth to take the hike down to the base of the falls. There are many views along the canyon rim as you hike down, but I still liked this view from the top. Though the scale of the falls is not very prominent in this view, I dig how this showcases the falls along with her landscape. One could just watch the fog play hide and seek - all day. The cool breeze of the enduring autumn fog along with a hint of falls colors added to the grandeur.
Time travel, secret teleporting experiments, area 51 – do u believe in them ? It is all real. They might deny, but it does exist. As I was shooting by the river at a small coastal town, little did I know that the it was all part of an large experimental set up at the size of a cyclotron. Just standing in midst of the unknown was surreal. The gleam of light blinded me - as whatever it was – vanished into thin air. Not sure if it reappeared in the past , future or in a parallel universe. Luckily, I was able to document it all with this shot ;-) Or may be it was just a patrol boat - with such a powerful light that I have never seen before - that spoiled my long exposure :) Camera : Canon 7D Lens : Canon 10-22 mm Filter : 3 Stop ND Filter ISO 100 : 12 mm : f3.5 : 65 sec
