The Cape Meares Light House sits west of Tillamook Oregon. I the lighthouses in Oregon I have visited this one is one the prettiest locations and easiest to photograph.
Sadly the lighthouse was vandalized a couple of years ago when two drunk idiots decided to shoot it. The two where caught and prosecuted but the damage has been done.
While I took the normal shots of most people do of the light house, I took this one shot from the main path leading to the parking area that I liked.
Here is another shot of the steam train sitting in Rockaway Beach, Oregon.
Like that a breeze was blowing both the US and Oregon state flags.
Now that I am back living in Oregon, trips to the Oregon Coast are a necessity since we are not living directly on the coast itself.
One of my favorite places on the coast is Rockaway Beach. Rockaway Beach is on the Port of Tillamook Railroad which suspended operations back in 2007 after a storm heavily damaged a portion of the line.
However, there is still a tourist train running from Girahaldi to Rockaway Beach using a steam locomotive from California.
Here is a shot of the train sitting at Rockaway Beach before returning to its point of orgin.
Took a trip over to the Oregon Coast to celebrate my friend's birthday. While in Rockaway Beach had the opportunity to capture the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway making its run from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach.
The tracks belong to the Port of Tillamook Railway that has not seen service since its line was heavily damaged in a severe storm several years ago and the Port used the FEMA money on other projects instead of restoring rail service.
While much of my personal photography involves transportation, surprising little of it actually involves automobiles.
However, this past May when I was in Portland looking for an apartment we rented a car and decided to spend a couple of days on the coast where we used to live.
I thought this would be a perfect time to get some great auto pictures to practice with and find one to add to my portfolio.
Here is our rental car relaxing near Oceanside, Oregon.
What do you think?
