Land of Angels and Elves

While inquiring about this place a ranger said that this area is so beautiful, you feel the presence of angels and elves. When I took this picture, I realized what he meant.

Green Wonder

Wahclella Falls, This place was dense and rich with all kinds of vegetation. I have never seen that many shades of lush green in my life. Natural wonder just makes you sit there, contemplate, and appreciate the opportunity to see this grand place. 

While I was looking at this scene, the sun came out above me and this picture was made with the glowing moss.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Winds and rain have buffeted this lighthouse since its beginning in 1872. It took approximately one year, and over 370,000 bricks to construct Oregon's tallest lighthouse.
 At that time the oil burning fixed white light was displayed from sunset to sunrise. Today, the fully automated first order Fresnel lens runs on commercial power and flashes its unique pattern of 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, 2 seconds on, 14 seconds off, 24 hours a day. The oil burning wicks have been replaced with a 1000 watt globe.

Like No Place Else On Earth

Crater Lake has inspired people for thousands of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom.
