Description

My husband and I love to go on overnight or day trips to the Northern Oregon Coast since it’s relatively close to our Portland home. It was autumn and we were in the coast range checking out a waterfall and fish hatchery we had not been to before. I looked around and realized that the sunset was going to be amazing so we hopped in the car and sped to the coast to get a clear view. A roadside pullout on Hwy 101 where the road climbs along the side of Neahkahnie Mountain was the first spot we came to. We arrived just in time to see this incredible sunset featuring thin swirls of clouds catching a wide spectrum of warm color. I like the tree silhouetted on the edge because it gives a sense of place to the image.
