It doesn't hurt you that Crater Lake is one of my favorite places. If you've never driven the rim at sunset, it is well worth doing - though probably not a winter time activity. The photo is a bit dark, a bit more of stark white vs. darker areas would be closer to Adams' style.

Grand image. The foreground tree is funky, but I like the image overall.
