Sunset along the coast is always great when sunny, awesome when toasty. TGIF everyone!
Been in Oregon for 2 years and have always wanted to visit this part of the coast. Finally got down to doing it and totally in love with Cape Kiwanda with all the unique landforms and haystacks. I was running around avoiding waves while trying to get what I wanted. Tide was pretty high and I couldn't get down to the sea cave that I wanted to check out. Was a great day out in the coast and will be back again when the tide is lower! Not the safest location, beware of surf but definitely awesome and worth a visit!
Cape Kiwanda, Oregon
I could have spent the whole day here and walked forever along this beach. It would have been fun to have rented some recumbent tricycles too! As you can see, there were a lot of them on the beach that day.
Here’s another one from Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon. As I was walking around the rock trying to find different angles I spotted a nice reflection in the tide pools. It was a good reminder for me to keep my eyes open, not to stay put, and try to find something unique to capture even if it has been photographed millions of times.

January marks the point in the year where I start to where I start to gaze longingly at the calendar for the spring and summer months to return. Not because I hate winter (although to be honest its my least favorite season), but because I yearn for the return of camping season. I’ve already got a long list of camping goals for the upcoming season. Its getting longer by the day, and I’ll be the first to admit I won’t have enough time to check every trip off the list. But that is really beside the point; it’s all about daydreaming of what could be.
Which brings me the photo of Cape Kiwanda. I think often of the ocean in the drab overcast months of January through March (sometimes through April depending on Mother Nature’s mood). The 5 hours driving distance each way makes it difficult to reach during the winter, forcing me to restlessly wait for warmer months when coastal weather conditions is slightly more reliable for camping trips. Sunny days walking barefoot in the sand, building a fire on the beach, watching the sunset over the water, these images get me through the workday. Cape Kiwanda isn’t in the cards this year, but a trip or two out to the Olympic Peninsula is. Those trips are still a few months out, but I daydream about them every day. To be honest, sometimes the daydreams are just as rewarding as the trip itself.
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.
This artwork was compiled using shots from Cape Kiwanda Natural Area on the Oregon Pacific coast. The big seastack out in the middle of the ocean is called Chief Kiawanda Rock, also known as Haystack Rock which is not the most famous one, but stands at a more impressive height of 340 feet.
Seems like the sun is actually right above the ocean right? Like if you got on boat, you could row out to it and touch it, right?
While composing this shot, It occurred to me to try to capture it in such a way that the sun would look really close and somewhat between the rocks. I figured I could use the far out rock in the background to create that illusion. I really like how it came out. Hope you do too. :)
Oregon Coast
Cannon Beach is a small coastal city in northwest Oregon. It’s known for its long, sandy shore. Standing tall in the ocean, Haystack Rock is a seasonal haven for tufted puffins.
On a headland to the north, trails in Ecola State Park offer sweeping views of the ocean, coves and a lighthouse. South is Arcadia Beach, with tide pools and a picnic area. Nearby Hug Point has sea caves. Boutiques and galleries dot downtown.
Haystack Rock is a 235-foot (72-meter) sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is sometimes claimed locally to be the third-tallest such "intertidal" (meaning it can be reached by land) structure in the world, but there are no official references to support this.
A popular tourist destination, the monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, sea anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a nesting site for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon at sunset. As always, thanks for the comments and views and happy Tuesday!
My husband Norm says this looks like an inspirational poster image. I think maybe I'm offended. Except. . . well, maybe it does. . . . Deep Thoughts . . .

This was the first stop on my day at the beach last week. The original plan was to shoot the "not quite full" moon setting but the only clouds in the sky were right along the horizon and the moon was disappearing behind them when we pulled up.
The sunrise didn't disappoint though!
After a day to restore body and bike, 63-mile ride from Bandon to Gold Beach. A beautiful day along the coast. Caught up with fellow cyclists that I met in Pacific City.

It was so cool to see Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach in Oregon. The thin layer of water on the sand created these beautiful reflections, and with the slight hills on the beach, the reflection became striped, which I thought was neat. The sky was so blue... it truly was a perfect day.

Yesterday marked the completion of one more trip around the sun (and many more with the moon). It was the close of my 37th year and my 38th trip around the sun, which makes today the dawn of my 39th circuit. I estimate it will take me about 366 days to get around this time, give or take several hours. But I am looking forward to the journey, it will be both long and not nearly long enough. Which is ok with me, I am as patient as I am restless. So onwards, around, and about.
Here's to year 38.
Well, we've been on the road for over a week now, with two more to go! It's been an amazing journey, traveling and camping our way up the west coast, camping out on some incredibly scenic beaches and in some fairytale worthy forests! Here's a first image from our 24 day roadtrip up the west coast, through the Pacific Northwest, and on to the Eastern Sierra and Yosemite.
Haystack Rock is no secret. Corporations have been allowed to build massive multimillion dollar resort hotels for the opulent wealthy within feet of it, due to a serious lack of protection of the area and a local government motivated to allow environmental destruction by the lure of tax dollars from the hotel corporations. However, once you get beyond the facade of man's endless corporate greed and short-sighted materialism, nature is as always, awe-inspiring in its quiet majesty.
Haystack Rock is a 235 foot tall intertidal sea stack, one of the tallest of its kind in the world. Due to the beach's rather flat grade, the waves coming in with the tides coat the sand in a highly reflective glassy surface that mirrors the sunset spectacularly, and somehow allows you to forget everything else and just relax in the peaceful moment.
Rather than stay in the absurdly expensive hotels in the area, and separate ourselves from the area's profound natural beauty, we opted to camp for the night in a somewhat secluded forest campground, surrounded by verdant ferns and covered by a canopy of towering coastal hemlock and spruce trees. We awoke after a peaceful night's sleep in the woods to the sounds of songbirds singing in the trees, and a 6 inch banana slug cruising through our campsite, looking for some tasty greens to snack on. And then, it was on to La Push in Washington for more coastal rainforest camping!
