Coquille River Lighthouse
Still in archives. With heating and plumbing problems hopefully taken care of (still holding my breath
), I’m trying to get back on track, but haven’t had time to roam with the camera. Every once in awhile life just seems to get in the way. But I thought I’d pull up an old-time favorite…..
Can’t explain it, but it’s one of my favorite shots of the lighthouse. This was shot from the south jetty. The lighthouse sits on or near the north jetty.
“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”
― Anne Lamott


Beautyful place and photo!!!
Glad you went in to the archives – I hadn’t seen this and it a cracker – the colour on the lighthouse is strong enough to pull itself from the variety of textures – a winner
What cracks me up is this was shot with the little point ‘n shoot, before I had a DSLR. I’ve tried a whole bunch of other shots of the lighthouse, but this one remains a favorite. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I think you’re right about it being the lighting.
An amazing photograph Gunta and a very apt quote to complement it!
Thank you for the kind words, Madhu.
I totally understand about life getting in the way, Gunta. And this shot is now one of my favorites! Lovely!
Oh! thank you so much! I’m hoping things calm down pretty soon.
