Another shot of the stunningly beautiful Heceta head lighthouse from Heceta headlands. This location from where I took this shot is actually quite far from the actual lighthouse and you are reliant of a 70-200 for composition here. We actually went all the way up to the lighthouse to check out some of the compositions around the lighthouse.
As you can see from the image, the lighthouse is perched on the slope of a pretty steep hill. There are hiking trails which zig zags its way on to the top of the hill but the dense vegetation makes it very difficult to find a good composition where you can frame the lighthouse along with the sprawling coastal land to the south. Moreover, there are signs posted on some areas requesting visitors to stay on the track while they are restoring some of the hillsides. If you trample on vegetation too much, they die off and expose the entire hillside to erosion and considering the amount of rain Oregon’s coast gets in a year, we decided to heed the instructions posted.
