Born and raised in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley, I've been artistic, drawing and painting from an early age.
I became serious about photography in the mid 80's, and have won awards internationally. I am an incurable romantic and also love fantasy and sci-fi, as you can see from my photos.
On April 14, 2014, I married my childhood sweetheart. We were both widowed after long happy marriages.
"Without love.....breath is just a clock......ticking....." Â from the film EQUILIBRIUM.

There was a park ranger trying to hurry me out, since the park closed at dusk, but I was determined to get the shot.:) I bet that 30secs felt like an eternity with the guy watching!

For once, I will not be under the spell as the lower half of the picture. All Western cities consume too much energy different; The lower part of your shot, Shirley, made me think of "The Lady of the Lake", and this island is really beautiful! Try to see. Excellent lighting !

I live in Oregon and going to the beach is one of my favorite things to do, and I love going to Newport. This shot is amazing and I'm glad you made the park ranger wait.
