There is another view of this waterfall from below, but unless you're willing to get very wet and spend a lot of time... the view is rather straightforward. Golden falls was named for a person with that last name... some trivia...Silver FallsI tried and tried to get this image without any water drops... but it was raining at the time... and misty from the swollen waterfall. The shape of this waterfall - the way it comes over a lip of rock - is fairly uncommon. I'm not sure how many waterfalls there are in Oregon, but this one is worth a visit!Kelp ArtA Kelp twists into a unique shape on the Oregon coastKelpHere you can see the entire length of a kelp branchShore Acres GardenLate summer flowers at Shore Acres State ParkBeach GrassThis beach grass might look nice, but it's an invasive species that has permanently altered the Oregon Coast landscapeBandon SunsetLooking out to teh rocks offshort at Bandon.Lonely BeachA couple people have a dramatic stretch of beach all to themselvesCape BlancoThe Cape Blanco Lighthouse greets another morning.Cape BlancoThe grounds around the Cape Blanco Lighthouse are just as you'd expect - green, tidy and windswept.Clouds at BlancoClouds stream past the lighthouse at Cape Blanco.Forbidden ForestA bit of processing effects add some mood to the trail to Blacklock Point.Greetings from BandonLooking up at the stars from Bandon beach.SplashA wave crashed behind this Western Gull, throwing things off balance for just a moment.Storm at SeaOcean meets land in a frothy interchange.
