Big Spray, Sunset Bay

Winter Surf is often impressive on the Oregon Coast. This day, I was perched on a narrow point on the south side of Sunset Bay, accessed by crawling through some bushes on a small animal trail. The coastal trails are extensive along the coast here, connecting a string of three state parks and the beautiful gardens at Shore Acres.

I met the guy on the point later on the trail and he showed me the spot through the bushes to get there. It was a grand view and my position, the wind whipping by, the waves exploding, lent a sense of adventure to my photo quest.
