My thanks to all who enjoyed the pictures of the Devil's Punchbowl and the Otter Crest Lodge. It is beautiful country there and I am attaching two more photos - the first being the view from Cape Foulweather looking north along the coast and the second is from the resort looking north at Cape Foulweather. We were blessed with absolutely beautiful weather for the entire week we were there with the rain falling only at night and the days were bright and sunny. Judging from the name "Cape Foulweather" I gather that this was not the usual weather for the area.

Both shots are beautiful and well done. My favorite would be the first because I love the colors and the very high angle of view.

Thanks for your comments and I agree the first is the better of the two - the second was taken at sunset which I usually prefer but in a beautiful, lush, green setting like Oregon, the natural colors are the best.

Cape Foulweather is a basalt outcropping 500 feet (150 m) above the Pacific Ocean on the central coastline of the U.S. state Oregon in Lincoln County south of Depoe Bay. The cape is notable as the first promontory on the northwest coast of New Albion (as the area was then known) to be sighted and named by Captain James Cook, while on his third voyage around the world. His March 7, 1778 journal entry reads:
“ The land appeared to be of moderate height, diversified with hill and Valley and almost everywhere covered with wood. There was nothing remarkable about it except one hill…At the northern extreme the land formed a point which I called Cape Foulweather from the very bad weather we soon after met with.[1][2] ”CAPT JAMES COOK.
The cape can be viewed from Otter Crest State Scenic Viewpoint.

Beautiful shots! I agree about the first one, but the second is good too IMO.
