Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

I was looking through some of my photos from my Oregon coast trip a couple of years ago and found this one.  This is Tillamook Rock Light just off the coast at Cannon Beach.  Was fortunate to have some nice sunset light.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Just to change things up I thought I would take a break from the Palouse and post another lighthouse photo today.  This one is of Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Newport, Oregon.  This was taken in early July when there were a lot of flowers blooming.  The park didn't open it's gates until 8am so I had to park outside the gates and hike in about a mile to get the sunrise photo you see above.  These hikes are fun because you are all by yourself in a beautiful local and everything is quiet and peaceful.  Very enjoyable way to get a little exercise. 

Here we go!

After much procrastination, I have finally hit critical mass between my desire to start a photography blog and my desire to find the time to start a photography blog.  My children have been encouraging me to start one so I can more easily share my photography with them and others.  My goal is to post a new photograph at least once a week.  We'll soon see how that goes.  So here we go.

The photograph above is from a recent trip to the Columbia River Gorge in northern Oregon.  This is Multnomah Falls and is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the U.S.  It was taken in the middle of summer just after sunrise and prior to the usual onslaught of tourists.  Hence there are no people on the bridge.

Feel free to post any comments you may have.  I am hoping to use this blog as a way to help me improve with my photography, so tell me what you like and/or dislike about the photographs I post.  Thanks.
