Part C: Crater Lake
Crater Lake Re-visited
Once more let us return to Oregon and the site of so many wonders. When last we were there, several postings ago, we were at Crater Lake National Park. And so, we return there once more.
On a map, it appears to be simply a lake with a road around it. But it is more, much more.
It is a land of water, blue water, clear water, and yes even pure water. Water that has gathered for over 7,000 years, and presents itself as water should be. A calm pool in the aftermath of a series of destructive blasts.
But wait, there is even more.
For as the day fades and turns into the inky blackness of night, there is one last “Hurrah” in store for those who dare to see. The light casts a reddish glow upon the ragged cliffs above the blue pool.
And then, especially after a day of clouds and rain, there is that last burst of the sun, letting one and all know that, in the words of Dylan Thomas, it is not going softly or gently into that good night.
