A landscape photographer's tour

Keith's travels in the Pacific Northwest - September-October 2007

Driving south along the pacific highway from Florence to Bandon.

This photo-diary covers some of my travel photography from a driving trip starting at Seattle, Washington in September/October 2007. It's a great place for a vacation, or just a road trip along the Pacific coast to photograph some of the scenery. If you've any questions about the hotels/inns/motels where I stayed, then please do feel free to drop me a line.

What's the Washington weather like? What's the Oregon weather like? National Weather Service radar (Pacific Northwest) What are the roads like?

At last the weather looks a bit better :-) In the search for a few days nice weather we decided to carry on south to Bandon (it looks as if we will head inland and start north on Saturday now.

Definite signs of better weather...

Sunset bay

Here's a view from Cape Arago showing that while nice weather is appreciated, it makes it more difficult to get good black and white shots :-)

Off the coast are hundreds of Sea Lions at Simpson Reef, making a lot of noise, even several hundred yards away

Anyway here's the car, now with roof down again. Note Karen for scale - this car would look huge parked outside my house in the UK - the tires are more the size I'd expect on a Transit van :-) Mind you, a 4.6L V8 does pull past RVs very effectively ;-)

In Bandon, it's starting to look as if I might get to see a nice sunset

The view South...

And looking North

This being Bandon, there's no shortage of Cranberry related resources in the local shops...

I went up to Face Rock to watch the sunset, but this is just before it started to rain heavily

This the view as the rain passed

And lastly a couple of views of the sunset, and the last few rays of sun...
