A group was parked in the spot I wanted to stand in. They took endless photos of themselves as the sun went down. So they became part of my subject.

FINALLY got to check Cannon Beach off the bucket list... These rocks are so surreal looking. The light was killer as was my company. A great way to cap off an amazing weekend.
The 235 foot high Haystack Rock is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. This day it was displaying its reflection along with the Needles on the wet sand. Haystack Rock is home to many species of shorebirds which we viewed with 30x binoculars. We saw Tufted Puffin, Western and/or Herring Gulls, Pelagic Cormorants, Common Murres, Black and Surf Scoters, Bald Eagles, and a Peregrine Falcon. The Murres came in huge numbers and flew circles around Haystack Rock. www.seasideor.com/birding/
I have been on the struggle bus with my photography for over 4-months now and managed to dip into my archives from a trip my wife and I took out to Oregon.
Hoping to snap out of this funk shortly with spring coming.

The iconic sea stack known as Haytack Rock, seen here in the upper portion of the photo, is one of the more well known landmarks along the Oregon Coast.
A stack or seastack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by erosion. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology. They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island. Without the constant presence of water, stacks also form when a natural arch collapses under gravity, due to sub-aerial processes like wind erosion. Stacks can provide important nesting locations for seabirds, and many are popular for rock climbing.
Looking back into some of my archives...only to find one of my favorite places; the rugged coastline of Oregon at Cannon Beach. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
This is one of my favorite shots from this past year. It proves that no matter how much planning you do there are always going to be those variables that you can do nothing about. I wanted to shoot the sunset and nothing else and as sunsets have the power to do, many gathered around to watch the beauty unfold as well. So many people walked into my shot and just stood there completely oblivious to myself, my camera, or anyone else for that matter. It was challenging to say the least. I had to tweak my vision to accommodate the variables I had no control over. I saw that the level of the sun helped create awesome shadows of the people that walked by. I just had to wait for the right moment. I saw these two, hand-in-hand, walk by and then stop to gaze upon the setting sun. It was a beautiful and romantic moment that I witnessed and was able to capture. Not what I had originally intended but still a picture-perfect-Hallmark-moment.
Throwback.
