This is a reposting - original posted back in 2007. reworked the original - I think this is a vast improvement. Our skill and software improves over time I guess. Posted the origianl as a WS.

This old snag stands on the lip of a cinder cone created by volcanic action many thousands of years ago. This lava butte in part of the National Park system and is location is just south of Bend, Oregon.

Wikipedia:
Lava Butte is a cinder cone located in central Oregon, USA, just west of US Highway 97 between the towns of Bend, Oregon, and Sunriver, Oregon. About 500 ft (150 m) tall, it is part of a system of small cinder cones on the northwest flank of Newberry Volcano, a massive shield volcano which rises to the southeast. The cinder cone is capped by a crater which extends about 60 ft (20 m) deep beneath its south rim, and 160 ft (50 m) deep from the 5,016 ft (1,529 m) summit on its north side. Lava Butte is part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

PP: This RAW image was exposed vor the the sky but with Nikon Capure NX I was able to bring up the foreground.

Thanks to those who are just looking and a special thanks to those who choose to critique this image.

Cheers
