  • Seal Team Six…⠀ Not *that* Seal team but still pretty good in the water!
  • When I think of the Oregon coast, this is what I envision. Row after row of mountain ridges covered in dark green coniferous trees descending into the Pacific with a layer of fog hovering overhead. On this day from Cape Perpetua, that is exactly the view that I observed. The Oregon coast is beautiful in many different weather conditions in any season of the year.
  • There are a few spots on the Oregon coast where a road or trail climbs to the top of the rugged mountain range yielding spectacular views of the Pacific and the coast. Cape Perpetua is one of those locations. Rising several hundred feet above the coast, the cape offers views of the coast highway and the coastal range for twenty miles or so southward.
  • Even though we weren’t able to access Yaquina Head Light at sunset, we were able to get close up the next day. The day was overcast and the skies weren’t as dramatic, but we still found a few good spots to capture the lighthouse in its rugged setting. The wildflowers carpeting the cliffs around the lighthouse were just emerging as spring unfolded on the Oregon coast.
  • We had been on Agate Beach for two hours or so just waiting for the light to grow magical. The light began to put on a show thirty minutes or so before sunset. As the sun lowered through clouds hovering offshore we had increasingly beautiful conditions. Eventually a cloud bank began to obscure the setting sun, but the high clouds overhead then began to glow pink and orange. Even forty five minutes after sunset when this image was taken the highest clouds closest to the horizon still glowed pink. I framed this shot of Yaquina Head Light in shadow just as the massive light blinked on for part of its two seconds on, two seconds off, two seconds on, fourteen seconds off cycle.
