Sunset Through the Trees
Sunset over Cargo Ships
Twelve Apostles Sunset Photos
Living in Oregon, and just an hour from the coast, I have learned a few things about photography and the weather. No matter what the weather may look like mid-afternoon, there is no guarantee of a great sunset at the coast. Fog, the marine layer, can float in at any time, taking what seemed like it could be a great sunset, into a foggy, gray, landscape.
Now, the coast of Australia along the Great Ocean Road is very similar to the Oregon Coast, as you may have noticed from some of the photos I’ve shared already. Add in the fact that I had one free day during my trip there a few months ago to take the bus trip down to the Twelve Apostles for the sunset, and I knew going in, I would just have to deal with whatever the weather brought me.
Luckily, the weather and the sunset that evening were fantastic.

Fireworks at Oregon Garden

Since I was actually home for the long holiday weekend, and we had a friend staying with us, we decided to check out the fireworks show up at the Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR. We are members and have enjoyed some time wandering around the gardens previously (photos from that are coming eventually too!), so it seemed like a fun way to spend the evening of July 3rd, and in fact, it really was. We got there early and treated ourselves to the buffet dinner, which was fabulous, and then grabbed up a few seats in the garden next to the resort, where we could watch the sunset, and then the fireworks. Not too shabby!
And, if you’re interested in some video, my iPhone was handy for that as well.
