The Light Shines In The Darkness

About this photo:

Newport, Oregon (September 2009) - Yaquina Head Lighthouse photographed on a recent trip to Oregon. The 93 foot tower, Oregon's tallest, is located on a narrow point of land jutting due west into the Pacific Ocean north of Newport, at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Winds and rain have buffeted this lighthouse since its beginning in 1872. It took approximately one year, and over 370,000 bricks to construct Oregon's tallest lighthouse.
