Description

Cape Foulweather is one of the highest points along the Oregon Coast. The image was captured on a glorious day while hiking around the headlands of Cape Foulweather, near Depoe Bay.

Discovered by British navigator Captain James Cook in 1778, whose ship and crew were nearly destroyed by one of the monstrous storms that strike this particular area of the Oregon Coast.

Built in 1937, the building withstands extreme weather with 18" thick concrete walls and steel reinforced door and window frames.

The image has added brushwork texturing that suggests the driving winds that, when the sun is not shining, often confront the traveler to this stretch of the Pacific Ocean.
