Road Trip–Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Kitchen

Photograph of the kitchen of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse along the southern Oregon coast at the Yaquina River near Newport, OregonThe Yaquina Bay lighthouse was active for only three years until the Yaquina Head Light was commissioned in 1873. It is the only existing structure in Oregon which houses the living quarters in the same building as the light. Several rooms are furnished in late 19th century style. This was a blended exposure to balance the interior and exterior light.

Photograph of the spiral staircase in the Yaquina Head Lighthouse along the southern Oregon coast at the Yaquina River near Newport, OregonThe lighthouse tours are very popular. It was a challenge to shoot some of the staircase without other visitors in the scene.

Road Trip–Yaquina Head Lighthouse Spiral Staircase

 Photograph of the spiral staircase in the Yaquina Head Lighthouse along the southern Oregon coast at the Yaquina River near Newport, OregonThere are 168 stairs up to the top of the lighthouse. The original Keepers climbed several times a day with heavy buckets of oil to keep the light burning. It is hard enough to climb unencumbered; I can’t imagine what it would be like with a heavy weight.

Graffiti Fence

Photograph of graffiti on a fence in Fresno, CaliforniaWhether graffiti is art or not is a controversial question. Like it or not, occasionally graffiti brightens what otherwise would be a community eyesore. This is a fence screening an industrial junkyard in Fresno, California. It contrasted nicely with the dramatic skies in the background.
