The Poetry of Waves
Beauty and power, always destroyed, always followed.
Moving Waterfalls
Massive waves crash into Boiler Bay on the central Oregon coast.
I Don’t Have To Be Tall To Do My Job
I usually think of lighthouses as being tall but perhaps the diminutive Heceta Head Light didn’t need to be as it sits high upon the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. There isn’t much room between the lighthouse and those cliffs, so photographing it while next to it doesn’t yield the most flattering angle, but it does emphasize the short stature of this beacon of light. You can also see it from both the trail and the beach, and I did mean to photograph it when I got down to the beach near sunset, but the tide was out and I got distracted by tide pools.
As you do.
Flying Above the Waves
A seagull flies above large waves approaching the cove at Heceta Head. It had been years since my last visit to this lovely place so I was delighted to spend the end of a day here last weekend on a brief trip to the central Oregon coast.
Yaquina Head at (Almost) Sunset
I visited Yaquina Head today for the first time in years and had a great time, but was sad to see that not only does the park not open until 8am, but you also have to leave right before sunset. This was fifteen minutes before as I was about to get in the car.
From the Top
Water eases over the top of Latourell Falls, beginning the long fall to the bottom and the short journey to the Columbia.
The Frozen Falls
I’ve posted this view of Upper Latourell Falls before, but in this picture I used a higher shutter speed to freeze the water. This waterfall I think looks good both ways.
Cats Mark the Spot
I think we could have been friends, people from long ago and far away.
Sunrise at the End of the Day
The rising sun colors the northern sky though it yet climbs a hill to the east, marking the end of the work day for the Yaquina Head Light, beacon in the night.
