As promised, here is the first group of photos from our Oregon Coast trip. The shots in this set were but a few of the ones I took during our recent trip. (Click on the thumbnails to view larger versions of the images in the spiffy new lightbox viewer I just finished integrating into our site. Let us know what you think about it!)

The spectacular Oregon Coast, stretching from Astoria to the California border, is over 360 miles long. But our trip and these photos were confined to a small, 40-mile section in the central portion of the coast, from Newport at the north end down to the Sea Lion Caves viewpoint at the south end.

Sandy beaches, lighthouses, big waves, and rugged headlands. Imagine what the other 90% of the Oregon Coast has to offer!

The photo of the big wave was taken at Devil’s Churn near Cape Perpetua. It is one of a series of photos I snapped as the wave nearly swamped me. I assembled the series of still photos into a video which is available on YouTube:

Here are links to each of the posts in this series: Oregon Coast Trip, Coastal Scenery, Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Sandstone Formations, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Evan & Erin, and Sunsets.
