The Oregon Coast & Beyond: Part 1, Cannon Beach to Lincoln City
Oct 31, 2018 09:03:02 #
Despite being in the process of managing construction of a new home, I managed to sneak off during the first week in September for a trip out of Portland along the Oregon Coast down to Crescent City, CA, and back with a loop around Mt. Hood and the Columbia River.
This was one of the more pleasant trips in quite a while, as the weather was mostly clear and mild. The one exception was at Bandon by the Sea--both coming and going--where we encountered strong winds and heavy fog. But I was told this was fairly typical.
Of the attractions that I set out to capture were the lighthouses (of course), the McCullough art-deco era bridges, covered bridges, the Redwoods, kite surfing, rugged coastal landscapes, and any lake reflections I could find. As with a box of chocolates, we never knew what we'd get in weather and lighting, but we ended up with a lot of sweet rewards.

Very nice set. Enjoyed them all. Reminds me of Pacifica and Nor Cal in the SF Bay Area.

Thank you, Karin. The posts on this trip may be somewhat sporadic with my having to stay focused on the house, but just picking the images and sharing them enables me to re-live the trip over and over...a great escape from the construction process.

Excellent scenics there--nice photographing!
I sure appreciate the compliment, John. I need to get you out of retirement so you can help out on this house I'm building! I could take you on a waterfalls odyssey in exchange.
