This area suffered from one of the many fires the region had experienced. It was an eye opener, due to the fires this area of forest appeared to be a sad lonely section of the forrest that had been tagged for tree removal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/a434bd80-c3d6-4f9c-aee0-d4af4a996f61/2021-6-11+Oregon+Cape+Blanco_.jpg Oregon Cape Blanco Lighthouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/8a1584a0-5a4c-4046-817f-e5de5e4587ef/2021-6-11+Oregon+Coquille+Lighthouse.jpg Oregon Coquille River Lighthouse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/55fb79c2-2739-472c-b69c-588b952933b0/2021-6-12+Oregon+Proxy+Falls+Lower+section.jpg Oregon In addition to the coast, Oregon's mountainous interior spawns many waterfalls. I had a list of many but only made it to just a few. The McKenzie River, HWY 126 east of Eugene, takes you through near old-growth forrest much of which fell victim to a previous year's wildfires. Even so, places like the Three Sisters and Mount Washington wilderness had much beauty to offer. This photo is of Lower Proxy Falls, off of Hwy 242 McKenzie Pass. The shot taken from the very bottom of the fall... from the middle of the stream.

While driving south of Eugen towards Cape Blanco I ran into a well-know Elk observation area. I believe this is Dean Creek on HWY 38. Well-know to most but not to me because I had no intention of finding Elk this day. Hung around a bit then I got lucky and was able to shadow a small herd for a while. These two decided to fence for a period of time. My guess, a couple of young males learning how to demonstrate superiority. Taken from a reasonable distance, maybe 300 yards out. This was shot with a Nikon 200-500 fully extended to 500mm. 1/600 at f5.6, ISO 400... hand held. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/9db166d7-83fe-42db-af22-ffdb6996ea11/2021-6-26+Oregon+Shark+Fin_.jpg Oregon Not to far from Newport Oregon, a wonderful Shark Fin rock formation created by the ocean.

For example green appears as white which makes it look like snowy weather... but it's not. Oddly enough the yellow in the deep center of the photo is actually a river running through that area. Infrared light reveals a different spectrum of light we don't normally see with our eyes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/5866b650-f127-475d-96b4-ebf50e5c7647/2021-7-9+Oregon+Infrared+North+of+CoQuille+River.jpg Oregon Another Infrared Photography of Drift Wood Beach.

Overlooking the lighthouse and the sea. For this reason I have the funny feeling that this photo represents a friend of mine who is a friend to everyone. A person who is always nice and sincere.

At dawn the Mesa Arch is literally swamped with people wanting to witness the sun passing through the arch. It becomes very difficult or highly unlikely to be able to photograph the event without blockage. The second day I planed ahead and first took a photo of the sun from a vantage point about 5 yards to the right of the arch at the same time it passing through the arch, itself. After the sun passes through the Mesa folks walk away and left me with an non populated arch STILL with the glow of the sun. I then took the Mesa picture and in post processing matched the two images and now have my golden Arch with sun shining through. It's the same sun on the same day the time difference is about 5 mins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/4027c00e-ef62-4241-932f-0910ecec74cc/2018-3-8+Moab+Utah+Near+Dead+Horse+Park.jpg Moab Utah Moab Utah -The daunting Canyon - Near Dead Horse Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/675f03cbd8126f36ab9ecaac/cb81afea-40a9-4048-a78e-0a42c5b33f88/2018-3-11+Grand+View+Canyonlands.jpg Moab Utah The peaks of La Sal.
