On our way down to the beach

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 9 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

We were in such a rush to get all the Oregon Coast done in six days. Next time we will stay put in this beautiful little town and just snap away.

Back from our four day adventure on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Most days were bright and beautiful. I hope you enjoy my pictures.

Impressive shoreline Marion. The standing rocks add a lot of character. Even the clouds sided with you:-) Good work!

Another good shot of this rugged coastline with its natural beauty, is there no development around there..?

@Mike: Yes there is. Actually, I took this picture from the town's park and behind is lays the small town of Orford. The stretch that the last few pictures are of has too many rock and mud slides to be inhabited. Thanks for your comments Mike.

@Lorraine: I know, it is just breathtakingly beautiful countryside. Have you had a chance to look at Randy's work yet? He lives in Port Orford and his pictures are truly wonderful.

Like the rock formations in the water.

@Anthony: Most of the Oregon coast line is peppered with wonderful rock formations. Some standing 235 feet high. I will post one of those pictures in the next few days.

Beautiful, Marion ... the Oregon coast is truly a masterpiece and you've captured it beautifully, here. Thanks for the tip on Randy Scholten's sites ... incredible talent!

@Ron: Thanks Ron. I would like to go back again and take my time and use my tripod. Randy's photos give the whole story of the beauty of the Oregon coast. I think God had a wonderful time creating that incredible coast line. ;D
