Coast Highway

[AlanLichty]

The usual view along US 101 at Heceta Head is of the picturesque lighthouse as viewed from either the beach or the highway. This is the other direction - viewing US101 as it makes its way along the coast heading towards the Sea Lion Caves (visible on the far right) as seen from the trail going to the lighthouse. It gives a nice view of the classic 1920's bridge that leads into a tunnel that straightens out an otherwise impossible terrain for a roadway.

The view from Heceta Head

A gratuitous view of the lighthouse that was behind me. The lighthouse had recently been given a facelift to restore the plasterwork and paint.

C&C always welcome.

I must have a zillion shots of that lighthouse from the road. I have been down the beach a few times and even have a picture of them burying a whale there. I recall when they were rebuilding the lighthouse. But I have never visited the lighthouse itself.

This is a nice set with a different perspective. And even though I have shot it many times. it shows how other eyes can bring a different experience altogether.

Yep, I agree with Ben, a very nice perspective. I have shot the lighthouse too, it's a cool little lighthouse.

I don't know how I missed this one. We were there several years ago when they were renovating this lighthouse. Very nice image.
