A Gallery: Delights & Splendors of Cascadia

How can that be a real place? :eek: :confused:
So pretty, but...how?!

Interesting history actually...
It is now a state park, but the land is adjacent to a military base.
The military dumped all their garbage for years right next to the coast. The glass in a particular zone. The result is this beach of mixed broken glass.. Tumbled for 5-6 decades by the Pacific waves.
 
a bit of atta girl for posting is appreciated so I know I should keep going with this thread. And let me know what appeals to you. I love that.

I love this thread! We took a trip to Oregon about 5 years ago, and it was the most memorable trip I've ever taken, including Italy last year. Just amazing!


These pictures blow mine away. You have a special talent in photography, as well as ropes!

Really nice pics.

Nothing like you see down here.

Thank you everyone!
I love knowing all of you have come by Cascadia for a visit.
It warms my heart to the cockles.

keep visiting and I will keep posting. :heart:
 
That gold on the lake.....breathtaking.

Is the sea glass beach protected? I can imagine otherwise craftworker a would plunder it, or even businesses what to strip it.....imagine sea glass shingle paths in a garden!

Cascadiabound, thank you for continuing to provide a 'vacation' spot. With out actually being there I'm falling in love.

You are so welcome.
Cascadia is a big place. You will want at least a week - if not a month to come play here.

And the sea glass beach is in a State Park. So it has some protection.

I'm wondering if that's unique. I'd be surprised if there was anywhere else like that on the Earth.
 
I have to ask...
Are these your personal photos?
If so, you do know your way around a camera.
 
That's a wonderful photo. I've never seen a whale in the wild. That one must have been very close to the shore.

I am very lucky...I long ago lost count of how many whales I have seen in the wild.
Usually see a few every summer just off the shore of where I live. Both orcas and greys.
Sailing I've been very close to whales. Sometimes closer than I wanted to be.
But it never gets old. I never lose the awe of it.
The sound of a whale breathing across the water...
The distinctive odor of sea and brine of their spray.
