On one of our trips this summer to the Cove. Seaside, Oregon. Miss this place.

Thanks Brenda Zozaya for hanging out with me this fine afternoon waiting for sunset brilliance! This is what we got and I am not complaining :) edwardhermanson.smugmug.com #pnw #oregon #portland #willamette #bridges #sunset #bigpink #friends #water #downtown #eastbankesplanade #chasethelight #wanderer #adventure #yesican #gooutandplay #photography #peace #nature #conservancy #surroundyourself #itsyouroregon

“Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace,

The soul that knows it not, knows no release,

From little things;

Knows not the livid loneliness of fear

Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear

The sound of wings.” ― Amelia Earhart

I am here in this place, the memory of which she described for me, of a paradise found, lost… at last, waiting. Indian Beach, Oregon.

This summer instead of taking the I-5 back to Portland after visiting my parents I wondered what it would be like to take the 101 down the coast, stop off at my favorite place in Seaside, pick up some food, drive to this place called “The Cove” and watch the dolphins and surfers at sunset. At the time I was also trying to find a Radiohead song that was in any way positive and inspiring. This sunset showed me I was missing the point entirely. “I Can’t” blended perfectly in the background with the sunset and it all made sense. I not going to tell you how. You’re going to have to find your own sunset for that... edwardhermanson.smugmug.com #earth #pnw #oregon #oregoncoast #beach #ocean #pacific #landscape #chasethelight #wanderer #adventure #yesican #gooutandplay #photography #peace #nature #conservancy #surroundyourself #itsyouroregon

Reflections look back in time for a moment and reveal how fleeting the present is.

Cannon Beach never fails to amaze. Locals said this is very rare there. It was so spectacular there was a man in the sand on his knees praying. I think the Puffins were praying as well.
