Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area with the Pacific Ocean in the far background
[Several photos stitched together and still not yet capturing the entire expanse of sandy dunes in this area. The dunes have patches of grass and evergreens upon them leading to the flat expanse of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon.]

Closer view of the dunes in the middle of the previous photo
[One dune with the high point on the left and the low point on the right. Grass in the foreground of this mount and evergreens are on part of its apex.]

The post in the sand at the left marks the trail through the sand. The man in the middle of the image still has to walk quite a ways to see the water at the top of the image.
[A small speck of a walking man is in the middle of a multitude of foot tracks through the sand perpendicular to the horizon/ocean. He must traverse not only the sand, but also the band of vegetation separating him from the ocean in order to see the water.]

Some type of pussy willow plant
[Close up of the furry, white, tubular ends of this grass.]

One of the many arms of Tahkenitch Lake
[A jagged-edge section of the lake goes from the foreground to the background. The near hillside across from the arm partially obscures the right side shores of this arm of the lake. All edges of the lake are surrounded by tall evergreens.]

Another section of Tahkenitch Lake
[Two photos stitched together showing the meandering shoreline and the many evergreen-covered hills beside the lake.]

Interesting bridge structure across the lake
[A raised bridge runs through the foreground arm of the lake while another arm is seen in the back. All edges of the lake are surrounded by tall evergreens.]

A true lake house
[Tan-colored two level home sits on the water. A dock surrounds at least two sides of the house.]

Must have been a forest fire here in recent years, but lots of tiny trees now growing. (View near Five Mile Road)
[In the far distance and in a small valley are mature trees while all other area in view are the very small trees of new growth.]

Mushroom near Tahkenitch Lake
[Several burnt-orange colored mushrooms with irregular-shaped caps grow among fallen branches.]

Winchester Bay lighthouse
[This inland lighthouse is just visible among the trees inland of it. The red light in the tower is lit. Several jetties are seen in the bay.]

Bridge to North Bend, Oregon
[Several photos stitched together giving a side view of the multi-arched bridge and the long ramps (with arches supporting them) leading to and from the bridge.]
