On our first day in Oregon, we reached Bandon Beach and its famed sea stacks. I was hoping for one of those epic storm clearing sunsets but was told by the hotel receptionist that those only happen in fall. In our talks he told me that most of the great some clearing sky happens in fall, winter is too rainy and summer to foggy for photography.

So I didn’t have much hope when we ventured out to the beach but I noticed a crack in the clouds close to the horizon as the fog started to slowly gather strength. So I held hope that there will be some cloud as the sun got near the horizon before the fog came in thick. My wife was skeptical but it turns out I was right for once. As the sunset time approached, we had some wind that cleared the fog a bit and the golden light started poured in through the crack in the clouds. It was not as awesome as I pictured in my mind but better than what I hoped for given the conditions we witnessed while we reached the beach.
