Skynnard's Lens Photography by Linda Aaron

The Oregon Coast offers a diverse environment to explore and photograph. The beaches range from flat sandy beaches to inaccessible cliffs with spectacular views. I have been visiting this Central section of the coast for many years but haven’t been during the late Fall.  The weather reports indicated that there were 4 days of rain and wind, not quite what I was  hoping for.  As it turns out there were a couple of storms as well as many breaks in the weather with some pretty amazing light.

This pod of Brown Pelicans were observed resting on the rocks above Devil’s punchbowl and these characters provided me with some very fun subject matter.

The Fall light and weather set the stage for some pretty amazing sunsets over the Pacific Ocean in November.

The quaint little beach town of Oceanside is located just south of  Tillamook Oregon on the coast. This part of the Three Capes scenic route is one of my favorites and our family has been visiting this area since my children were little girls.

This photograph was taken on the other side of the beach that is only accessible at low tide.  At the end of the beach is a man-made tunnel which is cut through the cliffs and when you emerge on the other side, this is the extraordinary view.  Feels a little bit prehistoric.
