Oregon Coast Landscapes

August 03, 2016

I visited Oregon to explore the coast and do some landscape photography in a new environment. These pictures from Cape Kiwanda, Ecola State Park, Hug Point State Park, and Oswald West State Park are just a sample of what I photographed during 750 miles of driving and 25 miles of hiking during a three day trip. I have a larger selection of pictures from this trip in my Oregon gallery.

Pump Station 59 sits under the Mississippi River Bridge on the corner of River Rd and South Blvd in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This mural is wall #40 from the Walls Project. The catfish painting comes from the area's nickname of "Catfish Banks".

Baton Rouge Fireworks Display

Pictures from the July 4, 2016 fireworks display in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The most popular seat for this show is on the Mississippi River levee, but I opted for a more secluded area where I knew I could still get a couple of nice pictures.  I watched from Capitol Lake behind the Louisiana State Capitol.
