Description
We stopped a LOT on our way up the Oregon coast in April. I loved this foto because it shows people just out having fun, even though you can tell by what they're wearing it's not the warmest day at the beach. I like all the colors too, as well as Haystack in the background.

I can tell by this photo that you weren't in Chicago. We don't have those impressive things looming out of the water here: it's all flat. I actually prefer this sort of a beach, though Lake Michigan has its own nice qualities. They're just very flat qualities, most of which are actually under the water and not looming like the Haystack. I like this a lot! The people do look as if they're having a ton of fun, which is great, and I'm really amazed that there are beaches on this planet with...well...monoliths standing around, being impressive. I love the sense of light and color in this too. I can almost hear those waves, and I know they were making a fantastic sound!

Wonderful capture! definitely a beach from the Pacific Northwe(s)t! Great place to fly a kite and get drug down the beach by the wind.

Looks like you were somewhere near Cannon Beach. Spectacular coastal scenery.

This is so very interesting, as we often see photos of this beach but it is always shown deserted! It if great to see it with people and get the scale

That is a LOT of people out there in the cold. Guess when the sun comes out so do the people! Wonderful capture!

Wonderful shot. I love the Oregon coast and wandering along the beaches like these people are. Even on breezing, chilliy days it's always a great experience.

I've been going to Cannon Beach since I was a little kid. It still sucks me in, despite the changes, despite the tourist thing. I like the fact that you've given equal weight to the people, and not just the rocks. It's a different take, and it's terrific!

Very nice. I love the beach when it is cold.....as I usually have it to myself!

Yes, with Tara, you gave equal weight to the people and not just the rocks (lol, I guess you upper west-coasters can call those things "rocks"). The people stand out in such vividness, they're like islands all to themselves. A wonderful treatment of this long beach-line and its strange sense of desolation (because of those lone mounds in the sea that make it look like an outpost for galactic outcasts). The people punctuate your shot, and give it a whole new look, as Tara says; and your perspective really brings out the sweep of these coastlines, as well as lets us see the stone mounds/hillocks as how amazing they really are, just sticking up like that. You called one "haystack"---is that the actual name of that mound, or were you just using your own? I know nothing about it! A big sweeping coast shot, made human by those people. A really fine shot, Marilyn. Awesome rocks, and wonderful people...
