Fishing Fleet In Yaquina Bay

Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon. There is easy access and, a fairly tame bar to cross to get to the Pacific Ocean. 

Good fishing and crabbing makes for an excellent port for the fisherman. Yaquina Bay and the Yaquina Bay Bridge are in the background. 

You can tell by the static crab rings on the boats that crabbing is at a standstill and many boats are in port.

This is a photograph that I have added texture to give a unique painting effect.

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.

Newport has the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon, if not the entire West Coast. The fishing and crab boats enjoy a quick trip to the Pacific with a (usually) tame Bar to cross!

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures to give the image more detail and color.

Mendocino Coast View

This is a scene from the world famous Mendocino Botanical Gardens in California. We are at the end of the Gardens overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean!

If you visit the Mendocino - Fort Bragg area a must place to visit are Gardens. It is huge and absolutely gorgeous!

The Gardens are some 47 acres fronting the ocean. It is mostly run and maintained by volunteers.

It is highly seasonal and, when visiting in May, there were multiple rhododendrons in full bloom. However, there is an abundance of other plants, foliage to observe. And, check with them personally to find out what is in bloom.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures to give the image more detail and color. And, texture was added for a unique final image!

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!

Crab Trap Art

This nostalgic fishing boat is getting ready to go out into the Pacific and catch some Dungeness Crab! The crab rings (traps) are sitting out on the deck.

They are ready to be thrown overboard, once they are out in the ocean and, have found the right place to catch crab...usually close to shore.

The Crabbers use fish carcasses to lure crabs into the traps. Dungeness Crab is one of the best eating in the world.

The setting is in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Nautical Art

This is Depoe Bay on the Oregon Coast. And, they boast the smallest harbor in the world.

Go under the bridge and you are in the Pacific Ocean...a very short trip! Depoe Bay was named for Siletz Indian Charles "Charley" Depot in 1894.

Part of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and part of the movie "Burning Plain" was filmed in Depoe Bay. Also, it is a hotbed of tourism...a very popular place for folks to visit! This image has been converted to Digital Paintography.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse Art

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse (Newport, Oregon) is one of the most visited lighthouses on the  Oregon Coast!  It jets out about a mile from the main shoreline and can easily be seen from out at sea.

It was built in 1872 to replace a lighthouse that was only three miles away. The lighthouse stands ninety three feet tall and is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon.

Chairs By The Sea Artworks

First, this is not a staged scene! These chairs are almost, not quite in someone's front yard. They are located right on the edge of the beach in the hamlet of  Neskowin on the Oregon Coast.

Neskowin is a real small community about seven miles north of Lincoln City on the Central Coast. There are no strip malls. No high rises! Not even a gas station!

However, there is this cool, laid back community with gorgeous beach cottages and, beach right next to the Pacific Ocean! Then there is "Proposal Rock" (the outcropping in the background)...a place with a history associated with romance and...well?

The setting, where the chairs are situated should tell us something about turning cell phones off, grabbing a beverage and doing absolutely nothing!

Boardwalk Art

The scene is Bandon, Oregon...very early morning and, it is dark out!  The Coquille River is at low tide and the boat ramp, off to the right, unusable.

The cool boardwalk is an outdoor art gallery with a unique, beautiful collection of  marine life wooden sculptures, a mosaic outdoor amphitheater and, cool artisan benches along the way.

Also, on the boardwalk, is Tony's Crab Shack. It is the blue and reddish colored building with some of the best seafood on the Oregon Coast...think Dungeness Crab!

Almost in the center of this image, is a glass-sided picnic shelter allowing picnicking and river viewing during downpours. Beyond is the Pacific Ocean. It's not too far away!

Boardwalk Art (LINK) This is a continuation of the boardwalk along the waterfront in Bandon.This capture was also made at first dawn. You can't see the Pacific Ocean in the background but, you can see the light on the horizon. Also, off to the right you can see the Coquille River Lighthouse. There is no breeze, so Old Glory is not flying. Take a look at the wonderful curves in the walkway along the marina. Bandon has a small marina and there are not too many fishing boats moored there. However, Bandon is an excellent place to go out of to fish in the ocean. The two near buildings are a restaurant to your left and the smaller building is a fishing charter service.

Crab Shack Wall Art

Bandon,Oregon is home to Tony's Crabshack on the Oregon Coast! It's small, crowded and has seafood to die for! And, it is close to the Pacific Ocean and the beach! Tony's is the "beach"!

This capture was made on a very early Sunday morning...no tourist around. The image was converted into High Dynamic Range Photography or, HDR.

If you are looking for a great Seafood Cocktail, Tony's has great choices: Ocean Shrimp, Dungeness Crab, Oyster, Crab and Shrimp Combo and Wild Prawn. For soups they have fresh New England Style Clam Chowder or, Cioppino to die for.

Of course, they have an array of delectable seafood salads. And, then there are the Seafood Pastas like: Smoked Salmon Alfredo, Scampi Montezuma and Steamer Clams or Prawns. However, it doesn't end there!

Beach Driftwood

On this beach, is one the largest collection of driftwood that you will ever run across! Winter is officially over and a whole winter's worth of driftwood has washed up on the beach.

Off to the left is the Coquille River (not visible in the image) and, the Coquille River Lighthouse. In the background is the town of Bandon which is on the Southern Oregon Coast.

The original name of the Coquille River Lighthouse was the Bandon Light" and commissioned in 1895. The lighthouse became active in 1896. The light helped boaters avoid dangerous sandbars in the Coquille River and led them safely into the harbor at Bandon.

The light contained a fourth-order Fresnel lens. In 1936, a large fire swept through Bandon and destroyed much of the town. Bandon became bankrupt.

There was a decline in shipping and, the lighthouse was shut down. It was replaced by an automated light on the south jetty. So basically, the Coquille River Lighthouse has not been an active lighthouse for decades!

Tugboat Titan

Coos Bay on the Southern Oregon Coast is home to the "Titan" which is a sea going tugboat. It is moored on the Coos River.

Sea going tugs, like the Titan are much bigger than river tugs because they must go out into the Pacific Ocean and maneuver large ships...usually pushing them into harbors.

Heceta Head Lighthouse

The lighthouse is located on the Oregon Coast between Yachats and Florence, Oregon. Off to the right, with the red roof is the old Lighthouse Keeper's Home, which since has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast.

For over 100 years, the Heceta Head Lighthouse has assisted ships and boats of all sizes to navigate the Pacific Ocean's treacherous currents. Heceta Head is named after Don Bruno de Heceta, a Spanish Explorer who in 1775 sailed up the West Coast.

No. 25 Steam Locomotive

Old Number 25 is a working, nostalgic steam locomotive. It pulls excursion cars on the Oregon Coast near Tillamook, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest.

There are different scenic trips that you can take. For example, one trip takes you along Tillamook Bay and gives passengers a view of the Bay and also of the Pacific Ocean.

Another trip, especially during the fall takes you into the Nehalem River Canyon. Both are cool trips! Note the American Flag and the State of Oregon Flag!

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Beach Treasures

The beaches on the Oregon Coast hold many treasures! The image below is not a sea shell or, an agate or, Japanese Float.

It is an art piece someone made out of various pieces of glass and planted on the beach in Yachats, Oregon. It is situated on the 804 Trail (part of the Oregon Coast Trail) that parallels the Pacific Ocean. A cool trail that is a beautiful two and a half mile round trip with rocky outcropping and waves that shoot fifty feet into the air when they hit the rocks.

Check out the swimming dolphin, in what looks to be an old fashioned candy jar and, the two wrist bands at the top. One with "Faith" written on it.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!
