A view across Diamond Lake toward the sharp volcanic cone of Mount Thielsen, framed by tall pines and a fallen log in the foreground, with low buildings and boats along the far shore. Mount Thielsen is an eroded shield volcano in the Oregon Cascades, nicknamed the "Lightning Rod of the Cascades" for its jagged summit spire, and Diamond Lake lies just north of Crater Lake in the Umpqua National Forest. The lakeside structures reflect the area's long use as a resort and recreation destination.
