Depoe Bay

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 4 July 2009 in Transportation.

The harbor at Depoe Bay is billed as the world's smallest navigable harbor. The channel into it is very narrow and runs under this bridge.

Part of the Oregon Coast series.

I like the angle of this view, the dimensions of the bridge are spectacular, good b/w

Love that kind of framing, many stories in one, so much to look at, and a great B&W in that depth beyond the soft curve*

I like the viewpoint you found to use the massive bridge as a fine frame for bits of the boat basin beyond. Fine composition.

Interesting... I can imagine how difficult it would be to navigate a boat into here. Nice perspective with the bridge.

Heading there this Friday! I've been in that exact location, right by the Aquarium, watching the fishing boats navigate the breakwater. Nice to see this in B&W!

I know this spot well - did not know the 'smallest' harbor factoid (and thanks). This is nicely framed and well done.

That bridge is one of those designs where the compression stresses can be read like a book . .
