That's My World -- Oregon Coast

That's My World is a marvelous meme hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise, every Tuesday and it is such a great opportunity to share the lovely things in all of our worlds with each other. Click here to sign up and join the fun!

Last week I shared the Washington Coast with you and this week I'm sharing the Oregon Coast. I have lived in Oregon and Washington for the past seventeen years and it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen, particularly the coasts. So, like I told you last week, I've only taken up photography over the past six months, so for now I've had to depend on Google for the pictures to share with you. And, also, like last week, these photos need no words for you to enjoy the beauty.

Your first photo is taken at Neakanie Mountain overlook sout of Seaside. We always stop there on our way to Rockaway, which is way off in the distance from here. Cool.

A gorgeous selection. Oregon was my favourite place when I visited the US a few years ago, I had so much fun exploring the coast.

Hi Sylvia, The Oregon coast looks beautiful. Looks like we both started taking pictures around the same time. There is a lot more to learn than I imagined, but It's fun.

Chris said...

Hi Sylvia, all I can say is WOW. Like you I have recently started to get into photography after seeing so many greeat pictures on peoples blogs. I treated myself to a Nikon digital SLR in March and am having fun learning to use it.

Wow. Those are really beautiful. What gorgeous views!

Incredible Sylvia. I have yet to see Oregon and know of it's beautiful coastline only through photos. Washington is also very beautiful and I was fortunate enough to see the Seattle area a few years ago but would love to go on a road trip along the coast going south. Thanks for such a great post and have a wonderful week.

Maria said...

Wow, Sylvia, these photos are really breathtaking! What a beautiful coast, and what a wonderful mood! Thanks for sharing!

I recall doing the Oregon Coast with a girlfriend when I was in my early 20's. Now a student and her family are having their family vacation there this summer. I really must come down there again sometime soon. Gorgeous photos!

Carolyn said...

Your coast is stunning much like the west coast of northern Haida Gwaii which most of us never see. Driving #1 Hwy down into California is on my "bucket list".
Thanks for the lovely post.
