Place to see: Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Newport, Oregon, United States
Night setting over the lighthouse
Late in the evening we came across Yaquina Head Lighthouse, just as the sun was setting and cold winds from the Pacific Ocean were sweeping over the barren landscape. I froze my fingers snapping this picture!
About this place:
The 93 foot tower, Oregon's tallest, is located on a narrow point of land jutting due west into the Pacific Ocean north of Newport, at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Winds and rain have buffeted this lighthouse since its beginning in 1872. It took approximately one year, and over 370,000 bricks to construct Oregon's tallest lighthouse.
