To the landscape photographer, the marine fog layer is generally considered a royal pain. It has a tendency to sneak in just as the sunset colours are starting to develop. For this photo, during a visit to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast that pesky fog layer was actually a welcomed addition.
In the middle of the high desert of Oregon, the sagebrush covered bluffs overlook the Crooked River as it winds through Smith Rock State Park.
Along the coastal bluffs around Bandon Oregon, there is an assortment of caverns that have been carved out by the constant pounding of tidal waves. With the sun below the horizon, the textured rocks glow in the last light of the day.
