A Cool Beach Sunset

[AlanLichty]

Cool as in Mid-December with a light dusting of snow in the shaded areas. I am piling on the theme of posting images of things that are a lot cooler than our current summer temps

This is a view of a sunset as seen from the north end of Cannon Beach near where Ecola Creek meets the Pacific. Distinctly crisp temperatures (low 20's) overnight made for a chilly sunrise photo session the next morning at Hug Point.

Mid December view at Cannon Beach with a dusting of snow in the shadows.

C&C always welcome.

Nice view Alan. It sure is different seeing that dusting of snow, it’s not something I normally associate with the beach.

It's not a common event by any means but that's one of the reasons I took the shot. There were some brief snow flurries the next morning although nothing stuck to the ground.

Hi Alan,

My brain did not process that as snow. I guess growing up in California means that in my mind snow can't exist on the beach. The sky in this is handled wonderfully.

Neat Alan, I have seen snow at the beach, but it is uncommon.

Cannon Beach is such a neat place any time of the year, Alan. You're lucky to be close by.

Stay away from there on a summer weekend when it gets hot in Portland. The main street turns into total gridlock if you can even get close to it at all. That is pretty much the case all the way from Rockaway Beach up to Long Beach near Willapa Bay.
