The beach at Bandon, Oregon, USA. Taken the same evening as my "Face Rock" picture and another similar shot. The sunset did not materialize as I had hoped so I looked behind me at the coloring of the clouds and the tidepools. I love this picture.

Shot of one of the many cool rocks at the Bandon beach on the Oregon Coast, USA. Sunset was not that great but the colorful cluster of starfish caught my eye along with the emerald tide pool.

The locally famous "Face Rock" in Bandon, Oregon, USA. Lots of photographers flock to this small coastal town these days. You see ads for tours to Bandon in magazines such as Outdoor Photographer. This small town has changed much from the 1980s when I went to high school there.

The headlands at Cape Arago State Park on the Oregon Coast in the United States.

Several large cracks exist in the rocky headlands. At times giant waves crash in and out making the area fairly dangerous. My wife stands watch as I focus on the shot. Waves hit your feet at times.

Sandstone formations and concretions at Shore Acres Park on the Oregon Coast, USA. Winter waves crash 100 feet into the air and land on this sandstone, speeding up the weathering action.

Punchbowl like falls on the South Fork Coquille River in Coos County Oregon. Riding an off-road motorcycle got me there.

Some local guys jumping off "Bonsai Rock" on the east shore of Lake Tahoe near sunset. Skies did not favor great shots like I have seen of this location but at least I was able to capture these guys having fun.
