Assistant Lightkeepers' House - Heceta Head
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 21 July 2009 in Architecture.
This duplex, shared by the assistant lightkeepers, is now a Bed and Breakfast inn. The head lightkeeper's house was sold for $10 in 1940 to someone who tore it down for the lumber.
Part of the Oregon Coast series.

Wow! Stunningly strong, clean and pure! A superb demonstration of the wonderful results that can be achieved with discerning use of direct light! Great work Steve!

Beautiful and luminous shot. And a very beautiful house, a place to remain some days in a trip to Oregon coast.

Great house. Amazing story. Hindsight is always 20/20. I like the way the fence draws teh eye through the shot.

What an excellent shot, Steve. That kind of reminds me of the early 20th century.

That's so sad... someone buying the old house for only $10, and tearing it down.... Thankfully this one's still in good shape!
