[Leica] From the Oregon Coast

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

On our trip down a few weeks ago, we visited a few places along the Oregon
coast.  

 

The Umpqua River Lighthouse has an unusual, for the west coast, signature of
two white and one red beam.  There are 24 prisms/lenses in total, so if the
conditions are right, it puts on a spectacular display at night.  This is
the visit we have made when there has been enough moisture in the air to see
it.

And if you looked out to sea, away from the light house, a few beams were
somewhat visible against the bid dipper.

Comments and criticism welcome.  Working on my laptop, so not sure about
exposures and colors.
