Yaquina Head Lighthouse
I was reading an online blog from Laurie Excell yesterday (
http://laurieexcell.com/) and read about her relaxing day along the Oregon coast. She & her mother visited Yaquina Head Lighthouse and took a number of photographs. Laurie is a well renowned professional wildlife & nature photographer based close to me in Tigard, OR. After seeing the alluring lighthouse photos I decided to see if I could do as well as Laurie so I packed up two cameras & my tripod and headed for the coast this morning. It's a 115 mile drive one way to Newport, OR where you can find Yaquina Head Lighthouse. I had no problem doing so.
It's beautiful! There are plenty of open fields of grass & wildflowers surrounding the area as well as cliffs filled with sea-lions and seagulls. What a postcard opportunity! I really like this shot of that lighthouse.
