Earlier this month a friend and I flew up to Eugene, OR, and spent about 5 days exploring Eugene itself as well as the Oregon coastline. I took a lot of photos but only now am taking a bit of time to edit them and post them.
The Oregon coast is known for its sea stacks, as is the coastline further north into Washington and Canada. Some are quite small, others are rather dramatic, such as the one known as the “Haystack” because of its domelike appearance. It’s visible on the far left of the ocean’s horizon line, faint and lost in the atmospheric haze.
I took this picture, merged from two photos, looking southward from Ecola using my G7X, a great point-and-shoot camera I use a lot for traveling. Being a Canon, it doesn’t have the rich colors of Nikon (my opinion, but many agree), but it caught the overcast qualities of the coast beautifully.
Great seascape!
How fun, we are on the Oregon coast at the moment, further south than Cannon Beach, which we love. I just posted a how to for sketching seastacks. They are so amazing.
I just saw your post! They are lovely and so is the coast. Makes ya wanna move. 🙂
Thanks, Anne! Hard to go wrong with Oregon.
Lovely coastal scenery!
Thankfully we live just over an hour from the coast. But yes a good place to live.
I’m inland about 30 minutes from the CA coast – but never seem to get there as much as I could.
