Cape Meares, OR

I've been to Cape Meares Lighthouse many times but not since local vandals shot out the ancient light that was over 100 years old. Members of the lighthouse society are trying to raise the $500,000.00 to repair the damage a 19 & 20 year old did while drunk. I think they should lock up the thugs until they pay the bill.

Re: Cape Meares, OR

Love the last shot of the lighthouse, the contrast between the lighthouse and blue sky and sea is what makes it for me.

Re: Cape Meares, OR

I literally need to tone down the blue skies in landscapes here because the air is so clean it makes the skies and water look too blue to be true. Crater Lake National Park in Oregon comes to mind first. It's water is so clear and deep blue you can see the bottom, hundreds of feet deep, standing on the rim of the crater. What a wonderous place I live in!

I like it enough for it to be my new desktop wallpaper. I knew the scene was a keeper before I even snapped the shutter. It was an amazing scene. Thanks for your comments.

I'm sorry that I don't know the details of their punishment. When I captured the above photos a local told me the crminals were local teens and had been jailed.
