And, of course, one cannot know the Oregon coast without knowledge of one of the world's most beautiful, most spectacular lighthouses... Cape Heceta Head Lighthouse and this view is visited annually by thousands. This particular picture I shot a couple year's ago and gave to my eldest son and his wife as a gift...he, too, loves the ocean!
This photo looks to me like a mural inspired by Ernest Hemingway's story of, 'The Old Man and the Sea.' Notice the 'exit' air vent in the center
South of Lincoln City, Oregon, local artists display of the flat walls of otherwise 'boring' buildings drawing many to gaze upon the majesty of these paintings in seaside towns. This particular one was incredibly beautiful and if you look carefully to the right you will see a pipe which carries rain water off the roof. Just below the orange 'sphere' you will note a plant growing from the top of this pipe!This particular bridge is outside of Newport, Oregon...absolutely beautiful taken as black and white and heralds the further beauty of the middle coastal region of the Oregon coastline.
Finally, one of our favorite hamburger shops outside of Portland is in a little community called Helvetia. On the ceiling of this restaurant are ballcaps from all over the world tacked up making this colorful site. I took this picture at one of the all wooden benches we ate at while checking out all the memorabilia in the shop.
We're looking forward to another trip to Oregon...one of our most favorite places to visit.
