Yaquina Head lighthouse...on a grey day

The lighthouse

The mist has a way of 'shading' the land's features

Junior pine cones waiting for a 'jolt' of energy from the sun

NEWPORT, OR - -  Yes, we've been to the light house before.  It's become a regular stop on our way up or down the Oregon coast.  The weather always makes the area look different.  Today, it was no different.
     Yaquina (yak-kwih-nah) Head light house tower (93' on top of the 162' head of land) is the tallest on the Oregon coast.  It was first illuminated in 1873.
