Here's a late afternoon shot of a beautifully positioned lighthouse at the mouth of the Columbia River. Enjoy!

Beautiful, Mahesh. I love the golden light on the cliffs and lighthouse....

Nice one. I know that place well. Did you happen to take the trail up to the light?

Really nice, Mahesh! I can't believe how similar that lighthouse is to Splitrock Lighthouse in MN. It would be great to see both (I haven't seen the one above yet). Any tips for stompin' around there?

Good to see you posting again!

The light and sharpness are dead on. I'm not such a fan of the pile of driftwood though....but it does seam to fit the scene at the same time.
