An Unsettled Day Along the Coast

[AlanLichty]

Port Orford along the southern Oregon coast has a really nice view of storms working their way up the coastal mountains. Humbug Mountain is the larger mountain in the right of the scene.

Sort of an atmospheric shot. not my thing, but it seems well done.

I really like the mood of storms and how the clouds engulf the mountains. Nice job, Alan.

 

[JimFox]

I love atmospherics and you did such a nice job with this one! I for some reason always do mine in B&W

 

[BarryHamilton]

I know that coastal mood well. Nicely rendered, Alan!

I like the reality of this shot. You made lemonade out of a lemon day .

Thanks for the comments. It was a neat sight but the conditions a bit on the scary side.

I was beating a path north to take shelter near Coos Bay from a major storm front that was inbound and the wind gust I hit at the base of Humbug Mountain where US101 comes out going north took my speed from 45mph to 20mph in about a second. This image was the scene looking back from the rest stop in Port Orford. I needed a rest from driving in those winds and got a reward.

Love the ocean spray being pushed into the hills...
