There was almost too much cloud cover yesterday morning in Crater Lake National Park. There was a mostly-solid cloud layer to the east as I drove to my favorite overlook to check conditions, and I drove through a layer of clouds as I ascended the crater rim. I sat and waited, and the clouds over Crater Lake parted just enough to create a fantastic glow shortly after sunrise. I combined the five exposures for this image by hand in Photoshop because Photoshop didn't create a smooth image during the Merge to HDR Pro stage of the Lightroom HDR technique.
