Description

I captured this photograph between Arch Rock and its adjacent archipelago. I enjoyed the journey of capturing the movement of the waves created with the distinctive dynamics around this ancient, massive sea structure. With this particular shutter speed and aperture setting, I attempted a longer exposure glimpse of the spectacular movement and physics of the crashing wave through these two structures just after sunset. I find this time illuminates this area best when attempting to capture dimension through contrast. Getting to know the lighting and timing that allows this perspective to be photographed was a privilege as my rest was found within the challenge. Notice the natural colors created by this iridescent fall sunset.

Arch Rock is the easiest-viewed natural arch and wonder in this scenic corridor. I think the best perspective of it is at the end of a short trail starting from the picnic area just off Highway 101. This is a TOP RATED viewpoint stop in the scenic Samuel H. Boardman State Park corridor. Several trails here offer not only moderate exercise but off the beaten path vistas to vantage points revealing surreal seascapes. Miles of sandy beaches and rocky outcroppings are available to explore and photograph.

The Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor is a bit of heaven on earth. At 12 miles long, it’s often cited as the most epic part of Oregon’s coastline. With nearly 10 stops in Samuel H Boardman State Park, one could easily spend a full 2 days exploring this incredibly gorgeous stretch of land. You will find it hard to believe what you're seeing from your car window or just a short walk from your parked car at one of the numerous viewpoints available. Breath deeply, take it all in, and relax in the wonder of what nature provides.
