Last Straw

This cool fishing vessel (F/V Last Straw) is moored at Dock 5 in Newport on the Oregon Coast. What was interesting, other than the boat, was the light.

Conditions were just right for a remarkable capture! Check out the cloud formation. There is just enough sun to accent the clouds.

Yaquina Bay Bridge Reflections

The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Oregon Coast is one of the most recognizable bridges in Oregon. It was constructed in 1936 to span Yaquina Bay from Newport, to what now is called South Beach.

Before, the only way to cross the Bay was by Ferry. And, in those days crossing could be a little treacherous.

This particular capture was made from South Beach, looking west. In the foreground, are wild rose bushes and, you can spot the rose hips this time of year.

The boats pictured are mainly pleasure boats and sailboats. Off to the left, is the world headquarters for Rogue Brewing Co.!

The Pier And The Seagull

This is a partial capture of a huge fishing pier that extends almost halfway across Yaquina Bay, in Newport on the Oregon Coast.

Folks crab and fish from the pier and usually do very well. On this particular day, there were no fishermen. However, there were two girls that were crabbing and were filling a cooler with Red Rock and Dungeness Crab.

In the background, is the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge built in 1936...an Oregon Landmark!

The Bay

The Bay..."Yaquina Bay" is located in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is home to Oregon's and, probably the west coast's largest fishing fleet.

The fishing boats and the sail boat are caught in an early morning fog with just enough sun peaking through to make for a majestic scene.

It is a short distance to the jetty and to the Pacific Ocean. Commercial fishing and crabbing can be lucrative. However, it is a hard life. But, it is in the blood!

Part of the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge is in the background!

I processed the original capture into a HDR ( High Dynamic Range) photo by combining three different exposures. Next, I converted the image into an unusual digital painting.

Please enjoy!

Bandon Beach Boardwalk

This is just part of the magnificent boardwalk in Bandon, Oregon. It is nestled next to the Coquille River on the Southern Oregon Coast and, very close to the beach and Pacific Ocean.

The capture was made early on a Sunday morning...no one is up and about! The boardwalk is actually an impressive outside art gallery with masterful wood carvings.

There are many arty type benches on the boardwalk. They are no more than 50 steps from one to another. Very unique in itself! 

There are a number of outstanding wooden sculptures. For example, there are: Dolphin, Crab, Octopus, Seal, Sea Horse, Totem Pole and Orca wood sculptures.

You can find them scattered along this riverside promenade. To the right,  in the photo is a beautiful glass-sided picnic shelter with a wonderful view of the Coquille River and surrounding areas.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is one of the most popular lighthouses on the Oregon Coast. It is located at the north end of Newport and jets out about a mile from the main shoreline. 

It can easily be seen from out at sea. It actually replaced a lighthouse that is only three miles away. Recently, it received a well deserved paint job.  

Yaquina Head Light was first lit August 20, 1873, and automated in 1966. It is ninety three feet tall and is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon. 

The lighthouse has even been in the movies: A setting for the "Moesko Island Lighthouse" in the 2002 film "The Ring"! It appeared in a 1983 movie "Hysterical" and, in "The Nancy Drew Mysteries"...the  episode "The Mystery of Pirate's Cove". 

The lighthouse sits on some 100 acres and, includes The Yaquina Head Interpretive Center which opened in 1997.  Exhibits include the history and preservation of the lighthouse, and the marine life found in tide pools. The Center includes an excellent gift shop operated by "Friends Of Yaquina Lighthouses".

It was built in 1936 in the art deco style. It is one of the most recognizable bridges on Route 101 and was designed by Conde McCullough.

Before the bridge was built  the only way to get across the bay was by ferry.

Aquero

 The "Aguero" is a fishing vessel, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Aquero, in Spanish translates to "omen"! 

One meaning is that it is a bad omen for fishermen to learn how to swim?? However, we can assume that the name "Aguero" on this vessel is intended to be a "good omen", whether you can swim or not!

The "Aguero" is moored in Yaquina Bay. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon and possibly the West Coast. This scene features a heavy fog early in the morning.

 This capture has been converted to digital painting. However, it's not that simple! Three different exposures were taken of the Aguero, combined to bring out all the dynamics of the scene...combining light, color to make the image more vibrant. Then the results were turned into a digital painting.

Bandon Boat Basin At Dawn

This is part of the Bandon waterfront and boat basin, located on the Southern Oregon Coast. You can't see the Pacific Ocean in the background but, you can see the Coquille River Lighthouse off to the right.
