After The Sun Sets

The Yaquina Head lighthouse after the sun set as seen from the beach in Newport, Oregon

Taken from the same spot on the beach as the picture of my wife in the previous post, but after the sun had set and looking towards the distant Yaquina Head lighthouse, which is a few miles north of Newport.

Between the moisture in the air, the long distance to the lighthouse, and my error in the original exposure, the picture isn’t very sharp, but I like the tranquility of the image.

As The Sun Sets

A woman watches the sun set from Nye Beach in Newport, Oregon

A picture of my wife watching the sun set from four years ago, taken on Nye Beach in Newport, Oregon.

We were staying in our favorite hotel, the Sylvia Beach Hotel, as we like the peace and quiet. It sits right on the beach, so we took a short walk from our hotel room and walked down the beach to an area where we could be off on our own.

And now I’m suddenly craving the seafood chowder at Sharky’s down by the harbor, which is only a problem in that I’m not down by the harbor but back in my house in Portland.
