Just a bunch of leftover photos from Bandon that didn’t fit in any of the other posts.  Enjoy!

I really loved Bandon best, but Port Orford is pretty awesome, too!

Battle Rock

I look particularly happy in this picture because I had just seen whales in the wild
for the first time!  The following foto captured the spout of one of them.

Now THIS is interesting:  Notice the two yellow cranes in the above picture.
Then also notice that ALL the boats in the foto below are on trailers.

There are those two yellow cranes again (above and below).  So, the sea is so rough here, they don’t leave boats in the water!  The boats get craned out of the water and onto trailers, then have to be hoisted back into the water every time they go out!

See the house above Battle Rock in front of the stand of trees?  If you’re not sure which one I mean, you can see it better in the first photo at the top of this post.  It’s for sale!
We can open a bed and breakfast in Port Orford.  Just check out the view below!

There is a local legend about this group of rocks along Bandon Beach.
The rocks are way cool.  The legend was dumb and made me sad.

 See how it’s kinda face-shaped?  That’s where it gets the name.

We stayed six nights at the Bandon Beach Motel in Bandon, Oregon on a cliff overlooking one of the most enchanting, mesmerizing pieces of coastline I have ever discovered.

I shot Bandon Beach at sunrise and sunset, high tide and low tide, foggy and sunny, peaceful and menacing, from cliff side and from surf side.  I became absolutely addicted
to shooting it and unable to stop myself getting another few frames from a different angle.  Like every ten minutes.  I shot nearly 4,000 frames in 16 days.  It’s possible half
those were of this beach.  Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration.

At one point I said to Jeremy (after a particularly long sunset shoot), “I can’t stop shooting those rocks!  I think I may need help!”  He said, “I’m helping!” as he clicked off his last few dozen frames.  Thanks Jer!

Here are 25 shots of Bandon Beach that really rock!

So, Oregon has a few bridges.

Some of them are spectacular.  Some of them are truly marvels of engineering.
This is not NEARLY all the bridges we crossed or saw.  We didn’t capture a single one
passing through Portland.  I found all of these to have interesting shapes.
