From our last night in Oregon. I was hoping for a great sunset but the early evening was filled with a drizzle. But the sky did open briefly and had some pinks and purples so I focused on instead on capturing the reflection. I couldn't decide which composition I liked best so I am posting them all. Ha!
For me, Haystack Rock has always been the one beach location that says "Oregon" better than any place else.
Fund raiser for the museum.

I have a barn photo on their web page under Annual Events/Seasons, but
they have my last name as Jones. (It's James)
You build yourself a large taco at a haystack supper and eat a Swiss strawberry
soup called sturm.
Limberlost Strings will not play this event again, even though we were asked to return. Everyone is too busy to practice.

This shot had one plate that was actually broken, that is, a big chunk of it was missing. As I've done before, I cloned the relevant section from another plate, and then adjusted brightness and contrast as well as I could in order to blend in the newly composited section. Not entirely successful, but fairly invisible on a casual glance.
Went to Portland, Oregon on a lark recently. Made it out to the coast to photograph Haystack and Needles at sunset. What struck me was its Presence. There was no way to ignore it. Even at play, it looms.
I took three of my grandpa's Polaroids to Cannon Beach with me to see if I could duplicate them. He and my grandma, in the Polaroid I'm holding here, visited CB 25 or 30 years ago. I was unable to duplicate my grandma's shot due to power lines and beach houses, but we darn-near nailed my grandpa's shot. It's coming soon...

Returned to Oregon for 11 days in July. First time back in the PNW in 6 years. And again I don't understand why I continue to live in the midwest. Here are a few captures from our time in Cannon Beach.
Murphy’s Haystacks are ancient, wind-worn pillars and boulders of pink granite estimated to be over 1,500 million years old. ... SA

Not a bad spot for lunch, taken from the rock on which I sat and had lunch, just below the summit of Haystacks at about 1pm on July 6th 2018, my favourite mountain, on the last day of a week in the lakes, here's to October 2018.
Looking across Ennerdale towards Pillar from Haystacks Summit.
Haystacks, or Hay Stacks, is a hill in England's Lake District, situated at the south-eastern end of the Buttermere Valley. Although not of any great elevation (597 m, 1,958 ft), Haystacks has become one of the most popular fells in the area.
This fame is partly due to the writings of Alfred Wainwright, who espoused its attractions and chose it as the place where he wanted his ashes scattered. Its summit is interesting and contains a number of attractive rock formations and tarns.
The Western Fells occupy a triangular sector of the Lake District, bordered by the River Cocker to the north east and Wasdale to the south east. Westwards the hills diminish toward the coastal plain of Cumberland. At the central hub of the high country are Great Gable and its satellites, while two principal ridges fan out on either flank of Ennerdale, the western fells in effect being a great horseshoe around this long wild valley. Although lower than its neighbours, Haystacks provides the connection between the Great Gable group and the northern branch of the horseshoe. Immediately to the south east are Brandreth, Green Gable and Great Gable, forming the head of Ennerdale. North west are the well known trio of Buttermere fells, High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike.
The Buttermere- Ennerdale watershed descending from Brandreth is initially indistinct, running north west across a broad plateau. After half a mile it reaches the rocky protuberance of Great Round How (1,817 ft) and then its character changes completely. The watershed narrows to fine ridge, steep enough on the Ennerdale side and rimmed by crags throughout above the head of Buttermere. The beauty of the scene is completed by a succession of rocky tops and nestling tarns, until the high point is reached at the western end. A sharp descent over rock now follows, leading to Scarth Gap (1,460 ft), a walkers' pass between the two valleys. Beyond the ridge rises again to High Crag, a steep climb on scree.
The northern face of Haystacks is topped by crags which giving a soaring curved profile from the settlement of Gatesgarth at their base. On the left in this view is Green Crag, while the highest section, unnamed on Ordnance Survey maps is called Big Stack by Wainwright. Warnscale Beck, one of the feeder streams of Buttermere, runs down beneath Green Crag from its source near Great Round How. There are the remains of extensive quarries on the upper slopes of Warnscale, including Dubs, once served by a tramway from the summit of Honister Pass. Across Warnscale is Fleetwith Pike, a satellite of Grey Knotts.
The summit of Haystacks has a number of tarns. The highest is just below the top, generally referred to as the summit tarn but officially unnamed. Halfway along the ridge is Innominate Tarn, a popular beauty spot with an indented rocky shore and a line of tiny islets. At the eastern end is Blackbeck Tarn, a long slender pool which overflows through a cleft in the crags
The summit sits on a short rocky spine, set at right angles to the ridge. Both ends of the ridge have cairns, that at the northern end being the accepted summit. A lower parallel ridge lies just to the east. The view is excellent, the high points being Gable Crag on Great Gable and the western panorama of Ennerdale Water and High Crag. Crummock Water and Buttermere are also well seen. The foreground picture revolves around Innominate Tarn, lying in full view to the east.
