Oregon Coast - Lighthouses

Oregon Coast

Lighthouses

     Oregon Coast, one of the most breath taking scenes of the pacific line. As an amateur photographer I couldn't even come close to capturing 1% of its beauty. Its coastal lighthouses also had something more to add to its charm. There are 11 lighthouses along the coast and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse was the most exquisite to me.

     Lighthouses always feels older and wiser to me. It can be spoken to it's architecture to the serenity of its lonesome. It with held many storms, and guided voyagers through these storms. They carry stories than no other, from romantic maiden waiting to scary haunted keepers. Regardless of its past stories, anyone and everyone visiting it finds to tell a new story of their own.

     "...Strong tower of light... 'Par took of eternity... There is coherence of things, a stability... peace, rest.'" -Sylvia Plath quoting Virginia Woolf from To the Lighthouse
   
     Now, we have GPS to guide us through the lost sea. Lighthouses has become historical landmark to protect. I tried capturing some of its beauty the way I see it, and hopefully I did justice to it.
