Yaquina Head Lighthouse is located about 3 miles north of Newport, OR. At 162 feet, it is the tallest lighthouse on the Oregon coast.
It was real foggy on our first visit.
The next day was clear and sunny.
One of the many hugh rock formations just off shore.
It is hard to see, but there is a tunnel through the center of the rock.
Looking at the electric light bulb that powers the light. In the beginning, the light was fueled by melted lard. Latter to kerosene, then to electric.
I have posted more pictures of the Lighthouse and coast line in my Picasa Albums .
