Cape Arago Lighthouse

This lighthouse along the Southern Oregon Coast is located near Charleston and about 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay. It was first built in 1866. Then in 1908 damaged in some bad weather by waves. The present lighthouse had a unique Turnique foghorn added in 1934 . At the time of our visit, no public road goes to it, so only views like this one and at a few other spots are possible. In 2008, it was acquired by the Confederated Tribes.

So lovely, Vern! I remember seeing this on our trip along the Oregon coast (from Coos Bay south) - that was the time we got to meet you and Carol for lunch! Such a pretty and remote lighthouse. I love the soft clouds and the movement of the water in this fine image.

Great composition and light in this fine capture. I've been to Coos Bay but don't recall ever seeing the lighthouse.
