Yachats, Oregon

Explosive Wave!

Driving north up the Oregon coast from Crescent City, California the lighting and the ocean were absolutely amazing! Of all the magnificently beautiful drives I've done over the years, this particular drive rates up in one of the top 5 I've ever done anywhere on the planet.

As the day wore on and the light got better and better I kept watching the wave action on the sea shore. When we got to Yachats (pronounced YAH-hots) I saw the waves breaking in a most dramatic way. So I did an immediate about face, and drove to the shoreline, jumped out and started shooting. WHAT A BLAST!

Dear Jim,
Not much better than a well timed wave photograph.
Love it.
