Long Runs on the Beach

I thouught it would be fun to post a little history of the area our shop is located in. It is a beautiful place, and if you should get the opportunity to travel to the farthest North West tip of Oregon this summer, there are some amazing sights to behold.

“Sleeping Beauty"

This shipwreck is truly awe-inspiring, especially for a Nature-seeking photographer like myself, the sunsets create a fairy tale effect. This is where I enjoy spending time in the evening, just taking it all in. Majestic colors transform with a slight turn of the sun, presenting a true wonderland for any photograph.

From Wikipedia: “The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles (6 km) south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific.”

Oh, and did I fail to mention the beaches here are dog-friendly? You can drive on them too. If you should find yourself in this part of the world, prepare to be amazed.
