It's been too long since I visited the Oregon coast, but I'm sure it will be waiting for me, on that magical section of Route 101 that has some of the (many, *many*!) best views of a sunset out world has to offer...this "Sentinel of the Sea".

Captured near Gold Beach, July 2025.

When the Atlantic Catches Fire

The cold at Cappagh Beach the morning I made this photo was the sort that makes you question every life choice that led you to a dark car park before dawn. The sunrise wasn’t that great but shortly before we left, the sun cracked through a gap in the cloud and turned the entire Atlantic into molten gold, and suddenly the cold didn’t matter much.

I love how the backlight picks out a single breaking wave on the rocks mid-frame, giving the whole scene a focal point that isn’t the sun itself. Kerry mornings like this are why alarm clocks exist.
