North Coast

My part time job took me to the North Coast a while back. After fulfilling

my obligations I took a little me time andphotographed the Eureka area, Redwoods and

Lithia Park in Ashland Oregon. This bunch is of the North Coast.

My first nights stay was in Eureka, I just finished dinner and decided to take a little drive. I waited about a half hour for this sunset to develop.

Went back to work the next morning, afterwards I headed up the coast and stopped along 

the way to take some coast shots. I'm not a sandy beach kind of guy. I like the rough and 

tumble of the rugged North Coast.

Okay so the following are of a fairly tame area of beach. I liked the contrast of this one large 

rock in a large area of beach. Incidentally this is the only rock of it's kind that I could see

and it was quite a bit away from any cliffs.

Something else that surprised me was the fact that there were plants growing in the sand

and had not been trampled or 'harvested' by people.

Near this area was a lagoon. I figure a few acres in size. In that whole area I saw a lot

of Lilly pads, but only two flowers. the ripply water and reflections kinda make a

surreal image to me.

I'm not sure the name of this flower. Most of the lilly's I found were just singles or a few 

flowers, none with this many blossoms. However to my eye the blossoms have many

characteristics of a lilly.

Next up, when I'm willing to do some editing is my trek through

the Redwoods.

In the meantime

Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph.
