Mid Winter Sunset Along the Oregon Coast

[AlanLichty]

A previously unprocessed low tide sunset scene along the south beach at Harris Beach State Park. My favorite place to shoot along that beach is where a small creek dumps out onto the beach and makes its way down to the Pacific. The tides would shift the the outflow patterns so the patterns of the foreground water was different every night for sunset scenes like this one. The usual marine layer clouds along the coast are less common during the winter months so much easier to score nice colors like what you see here.

C&C always welcome.

Thanks Jim - this type of sunset color is why I prefer winter visits out along the coast.

Wow! Very, very nice!

Thanks John - hard to compare the coastal sunsets with what I see over my house.

Thanks Jameel - almost the very last light for the day. I needed my flashlight to hike back up to the campground after shooting this one.
