Winter Break

Had a wonderful break in the weather for a day so we decided to visit the South Jetty.
(Click the picture for a closer view.)

A ship approaches the entrance to the Columbia River

Cape Disappointment Lighthouse looking across the mouth of the Columbia River.

Two more ships skirting the horizon.

Watching, listening, and feeling the giant waves crash against the Jetty renews your respect for the power and beauty of the Ocean.

Reminded of just how incredibly beautiful God's Terrestrial creations are when you throw in a setting sun.

Though the sun fades to sleep, the ocean, wild yet orderly, remains restless under watch of a protective moon (directly above the camera).
