This one comes from a spring trip out to Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon Coast. About 30 minutes after this was taken the sky completely blew up but before it did I got absolutely nailed by a series of thunderstorms and some pretty strong winds. The waves were crashing hard into the cliffs and I couldn’t believe the amount of people that were just hanging out on them and in some cases even climbing down them to get a closer look. All it takes is one wave and you’re done. I’m all for taking calculated risks but definitely be careful with mother nature… she can bite back hard!

This photo comes from a late afternoon jaunt down to Cape Kiwanda to snag some sunset shots. I made it down about 45 minutes before sunset after hitting up Ecola State Park and some other areas along HWY 101 so I took a quick catnap in my Jeep, made some coffee and got to work. I normally miss out on epic conditions that everyone else seems to bag while chasing light but once in a while I get lucky. This was definitely one of those times. Just as the sun began to drop below those famous cliffs the skies opened up and I got nailed by some pretty gnarly weather. Thunderstorms moved in and I was pretty damn excited to say the least! Gotta love the PNW! This is up there with my all time favorite photos; hopefully everyone will enjoy it as much as I do!
