Artist's Description
The Chinook Native Americans called this extinct volcano Hischokwolas. John Hurlburt, a Polish explorer, named it for Hans Thielsen, a key railroad engineer involved in the construction of the California and Oregon Railroad.
Mount Thielsen is located just north of Crater Lake National Park and is a much older volcano (eruptive activity ceased about 250,000 years ago) than Mt Mazama whose eruption 7,700 years ago formed the caldera in which Crater Lake stands today. Like other mountains of Oregon's High Cascades, glacier erosion is much more significant on this mountain's structure, resulting in steep slopes and a horn-like peak.

About ProPeak Photography
My goal has always been to capture moments that inspire me so that I can share them with others. I have been fortunate to have several selections of my work recognized in print and in competition. I am predominantly drawn to images of beautiful landscapes, glorious sunrises and sunsets, impressive cities, impressive architecture and feats of engineering, and awe-inspiring nature. I try to remain faithful to the moments I have experienced, with only 'natural' enhancements in post-processing, though you will also find monochromatic images here. I hope that the moments I share here speak to you. I am open to suggestions, ideas, and feedback you might have about future content offerings. Dan
