Photos Of Yaquina Head In The Fog

I just happen to live a short distance from the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area in Newport, Oregon. I can pretty much go there anytime I want and, I do quite often.

Most tourist that visit are interested in the lighthouse and the Visitors Center. However, for people that like to walk/hike there are several great trails to venture on, too. This is the time to get some great shots up high.

The day that these photos were taken, Yaquina Head was pretty well socked in. In the first photo here you can barely make out the lighthouse off to the right.

The second photo is looking down at the black sandy beach. The rest are random shots of the area.

Bayfront and South Beach in Newport

This is sort of a potpourri of photos in and around South Beach and the Historic Bayfront in Newport, Oregon.

The first and last photos are of Ocean Bleu @ Gino's...a popular eating place on the Bayfront. Caught them at closing on a Sunday night.

The second, third and fourth photos were taken in South Beach...across the Yaquina Bay. The sun is down in the second photo adding a neat glow to the capture.

The "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration" (NOAA) vessels are in the fourth photo. And, finally "Gino's" again as shot from across the street.

Things To Do In South Beach

South Beach is just across the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. It is an exciting part of the Central Coast and consists of the Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Roque Brewery for starters.

It also consists of the South Beach State Park which is gigantic and is a super place to walk or hike.

For my wife and I, the walk started and ended, more or less, under the south end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge which is another park.

There is a road that parallels the bay and I took photos as I went. If you continue on this road it takes you to the beach. But, we cutoff and took an inland trail that paralleled the beach, walked for about three quarters of a mile and came back on a different trail.

The walk is very scenic and there are lots of things to see.

Most of my photography can be purchased through “Fotomoto” (a trusted site) in many different formats and price ranges. Just click one of the links below each photo to see all the options!

Yaquina Bay Bridge

The Yaquina Bay Bridge on Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast, in Newport is some seventy seven years old. It is one of the most recognizable bridges in Oregon and certainly one of the most photographed.

I shot it from the Historic Bayfront District rather than getting up close and personal. I'll do that in the future..maybe at night. 

All photos were taken early in the morning. One shot here is without the bridge in the background.  I photographed that looking into the sun just before it rose.

Yachats Oregon

If you ever visit the town of Yachats on the Oregon Coast a must place to visit is the "Little Log Church By The Sea". 

It looks small from the outside but that is a little deceiving...once you get inside there is more room than you think. Besides the main part of the church there is a museum which features historic information about the area. 

There are no longer any religious services held there. Although, they have musical and other functions from time to time. 

There is more to Yachats than just the "Little Log Church". There are some very nice gift stores nearby. And, some good eating places.

 The second photo is the interior of the chapel. Pews go in two directions.

 The next two photos are of the grounds which are very nice.

Munson Creek Falls

Munson Creek Falls

The tallest waterfall in the Oregon Coast Range is Munson Creek Falls at 319 feet. It's located just a tad south of Tillamook off of 101. (No...the above shot is not of the Falls!)

Once you get off the highway, getting to it can be a little bit of a task, meaning dodging around great big potholes.  You have to be on the alert for the obstacle course! 

That's not a complaint it's a warning, it means you have to go slow or you will be replacing axles, tires, front ends and other things if you don't cool it. Plus, you have to be on the lookout for folks coming the opposite way. 'Tis one way traffic with, maybe two turnoffs along a long stretch of road.

Once you get to the parking area, the hike to the Falls is a piece of cake. Viewing the Falls in its entirety is not a piece of cake, however. There is a lot of foliage in the way. You can get a pretty good shot of the top of the Falls though.

Most of the photos here are of Munson Creek and not the Falls. The photo of the Falls I have altered because it looked like every other photo of the Falls that has been posted on the net.

For the techies, I shot bracketed shots with a Pentax DSLR...-2EV-0EV+2EV. Converted RAW and tonemapped in Photomatix and finalized in PSE. In some shots, I have a little blur in the foliage because of wind.
