Cape Meares Lighthouse
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 27 June 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.
With a 38 foot (11.6 meter) tower, this is the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast. The light, which stands 217 feet (66.1 meters) above the water, was first lighted in 1890. An automated beacon replaced the light in 1963.
Part of the Oregon Coast series.

J'aime les phares et vos phares aux US sont magnifiques. Ils sont très différents de ceux de France et celui-ci ne manque pas de charme.

A fine lighthouse shot. This is one of the "neat" lighthouses on the Oregon coast. You've done a fine job of showing if off to its best.

This shot is just lovely. Putting the main object into the middle works great with those framing objects...

Steve, so wonderful. I might be planning a trip to OR and your series of pictures have helped define the state in a modern way!

Dwarf lighthouse is cute ! And for once, no exhausting stairs to reach the beautiful top & lamp* :)

A few years ago, my wife and I bicycled down the Washington-Oregon-California coast with friends. I remember stopping here. Thanks for sharing this well composed photo.
