Crater Lake is a large, deep, freshwater lake in the Cascade Range of America's Pacific Northwest. It formed about 7,700 years ago when an ancient volcano called Mt. Mazama had an enormous explosive ash eruption. The eruption was followed by collapse of the mountain, leaving a large depression which later filled with water. Large holes or depressions formed when a volcano destroys itself or collapses are called calderas. Crater Lake Caldera in Oregon is a world-class example of this type of volcanic feature.
The island in the lake is Wizard Island, a cinder cone volcano that formed after Mazama's caldera-forming eruption. Cinder cones are relatively small, steep-sided cones of loose igneous debris. They have few eruptions and a relatively large summit crater. Cinder cones are principally composed of scoria and vesicular basalt.

Partial description from Bacon (2008):
Andesite of Wizard Island (Holocene)
Porphyritic, commonly seriate textured, dark-gray to grayish-black blocky andesite (58.5-60% SiO2) lava flows and breccia. Lava forming Wizard Island was extruded from vents at base of cinder cone and flowed into lake, forming pillowed flows and glassy breccia mantling the slopes below the lake's surface. Prominent increase in slope below depth of ~75 meters indicates lake level at time of final eruptions. Edifice of Wizard Island rises ~550 meters above the lake floor, the cinder cone adding another ~200 meters. Phenocrysts (~20%; ~50% when microphenocrysts are included): plagioclase (≤4 millimeters; commonly sieved or resorbed), augite (≤1.2 millimeters), orthopyroxene (≤1.0 millimeters), Fe-Ti oxides (≤0.3 millimeters), and sparse olivine (≤0.5 millimeters, rarely to 2 millimeters; typically with plagioclase) in very fine grained or glassy groundmass rich in ≤0.4 millimeter plagioclase crystals. Some samples contain rare resorbed hornblende (≤5 millimeters). Aggregates (up to at least 5 centimeters) of plagioclase ± olivine + augite + orthopyroxene ± oxides + melt common locally, as are medium-gray subangular xenoliths (to at least 10 centimeters) of fine-grained, plagioclase rich igneous rocks. The xenoliths may be partially melted and commonly have hornfelsic textures. Partially melted quartz-bearing granitic xenoliths present locally. Samples from presently exposed Wizard Island tend to have coarser microphenocrysts and more fully crystallized groundmasses than samples from the slopes below 75 meters depth.
Age constrained by inference that drowned subaerial lava flows were erupted when lake level was ~75 meters lower than today, which implies eruption within at most ~500 years of caldera collapse, or ~7,200 years before present. This age is consistent with paleomagnetic measurements and secular variation history and with the ~4,800 years before present age of [overlying] unit r [= rhyodacite of a subaqueous postcaldera dome on the eastern side of Wizard Island].

I took this shot yesterday evening at Wizard falls on Metolius river. The colors are not yet at their peak, but they are getting close.
1-sec. exposure, 70mm @ f/9, ISO 50, 1/3-stop underexposed for more vivid colors, B&W circular polarizer.

Inspired by the work of others before me here is my experimental high gain long distance pocket wizard antenna setup. Based on initial calculations this should give the pocket wizards a range of 64 miles line of sight. And of course if we use on on each end the we get a theoretical 4,000 miles line of sight. That feels like a bit of overkill, but it good to know we can do it.
The Wizard at Crater Lake. The BEST road trip I've been on. Steve and I took this at Crater Lake, OR.

IMHM's Wizard's Academy is a popular annual event that offers engaging and interactive science activities for elementary and middle school children inspired by a book series featuring your favorite Wizard.
Following a competition, thirteen artists were selected to paint life-sized model horses, basing their design on the name of a 2000 Guineas winner.
The 13 horses, which have been painted by artists using the theme of Guineas winners, are part of the project Horse About Newmarket, an initiative organised by Newmarket Town Council and the brainchild of town councillor Joy Uney.
Sixteen smaller horses were painted by local schools, youth organisations and charities
The project has been sponsored by local businesses, Forest Heath District Council and Suffolk County Council with painting materials supplied by the art department of Newmarket store Tindalls.
They were on display at the racecourse the weekend of the QIPCO Guineas Festival.
After that they were moved to locations round the town where they will remain throughout the summer before they are sold to raise money for charity in a silent auction at Tattersalls, with 80% of the profits being shared between two local charities, Racing Welfare and St. Nicholas Hospice, the remainder going to the artists.
At a gala evening held at The Severals sports pavilion, the horses were judged and the winning three chosen. Top prize went to Emily Jarvis for her Interpreter, in second was Frances Wray with See The Stars and third was Esther Albone with Wizard.
Competition judges were Lloyd Hughes, art teacher at Scaltback Middle School, Lorna Peck, head of art at Newmarket College and Julia George, a trainee teacher at the college.

The Wizard / British Story Paper
- Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal!
cover: ?
D.C. Thomson / England (14. December 1935)
[One of the Big Five boys' story papers from D.C. Thomson. Featuring illustrated stories of adventure, sports, schooldays, crime, s.f. plus jokes. This paper ran from Sep 1922 for 1970 issues. The run ended in Nov. 1963. They bear no relation to the American pulps. They are in a class of their own being anthology story papers which appeared, for the most part, weekly and were aimed at kids and teenagers but were consumed also by many adults. The mix of illustrated serials of many genres, a few pages every week, ensured there was something for every reader in every issue.]

This is my ninth year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the renaissance family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull-drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive and very colorful. Thanks very much for looking.
