The very south-west corner of Washington is Lewis and Clark country. Other than oysters, it’s all “Dismal Nitch” and “Hungry Harbor“. As a photographer however, I’m pulled to the lighthouses.

Dating from 1896, this is one of two lighthouses that have steered ships into the Columbia river for over one hundred years. On the wind-blasted cliffs, these sentinels shine the way. I don’t know if it was visits to the Point Loma Lighthouse in my formative years, but I’m always drawn to these things. I shot this in HDR to bring out a little texture in the shadows, but on an overcast day it was hardly necessary.
