Out of the Blue

Description


Large waves were forming out of the deep, blue Pacific as they neared the rocky shores of The Port Orford Heads… catching the late-day sun as they began to crest. A magical aquamarine glow would then often appear in the waves… just before they curled and thundered into whiteness. And far off in the distance, the flash of the Cape Blanco Lighthouse could be seen.

Quote of the Day: “The wave is the signature of every experience of life. By understanding the nature of waves and their characteristics, and applying that understanding to our lives, we can navigate life with a little more grace.” – Jeffrey Anderson
