I was playing with Neat Image, it sort of smooths out the textures, just bored and playing around EM

I can really feel the immense power of the crashing waves. I hope to visit Gull Rock this next summer. Thanks for posting.

I think the Oregon coast from Lincoln down to Winchester Bay is some of the most beautiful coastline in the US. Lots of places that have turnouts for photos and a couple of roads you can take down to the water. Several lighthouses too that are interesting and the aquarium in Newport is great.

Now that is a couple of rough photographs, the sea that is. I like the first one, really conveys the power.

Very artistic bringing out the wildness of the coast. The first is gorgeous and I love the lines in the grass leading to the rock edge... really get a sense of powerful winds. The fog adds a very nice tough to the second image. Thanks for sharing Bob!

Love the foggy Oregon coast. I think it is at its best in that kind of weather. You got a couple of really good shot too Bob. Really shows the power of the sea.

Beautiful but foreboding - these have a brooding feel that I dig, brother Bob.

Bob, I really like the PP on #1 and the overall antique, faded, nostalgic, look of these shots.

thanks Trev, the ocean can get a little rough during the storms, lots of wrecked ships back in the day.

thank you Tess for the kind words, i'll tell you it go a bit scary there for me, I almost had to buy a coat, it got sort of cold when the fog came in, but I put a sweater on and we headed south the next day.

It is the prettiest I guess Susan, sort of eerie in a way. There are some great campgrounds along the coast.

Will, I think this part of the coast is the most beautiful in the US that we have visited
