A landscape photographer's tour

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

Staying at Cannon Beach.

  • 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.

Starting off with a good breakfast is one thing I always like in the US :-)

Eggs Benedict and hash browns, while Karen has managed to obtain a pot of tea...

It's been raining on and off today so only a quick trip round the area, stopping off here at Oswald West state park

Driving on through Nehalem, this shop caused a brief stop, since Karen designs jewellery...

That and the fact she receives text messages from friends in the UK, even while we're driving along in the forest...

Back at Cannon beach, the wind is blowing the sand a few inches above the surface and giving these constantly changing patterns

Looks as if there won't be a decent sunset tonight...

and the gulls looked cold too...

However a good cup of coffee is at hand here at the Lands End Motel, where you get fresh ground coffee waiting for you in the fridge

Compare this with the more standard Motel fayre from the place we stayed near Seattle

Somewhat better than the 'blender's choice' I had before, but if this is their flagship blend, I'd rather not try an economy version.

Anyway, time to find somewhere to eat this evening...
