Featured Image from the Quad City Photography Club
This month’s featured image was taken by club member Mark Rasmussen on a photography trip with his wife Christy to the Oregon coast in August 2006. The trip was a personal vacation chosen specifically for the time of year that the Oregon coast receives its clearest weather and during a week when low tide would occur around sunrise and sunset to maximize the photography opportunities.
The sunset colors on the evening that Mark created the image were superb. There was a very low tide on the beach at Bandon State Natural, which uncovered intriguing sand patterns alongside tidal pools that reflected the sunset’s beautiful features.
The colorful edge of the tidal pool draws the viewer’s eye into the image, all the while the reflected colors and delicate details dazzle, until discovering the unusual shape of the sea stacks silhouetted against the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows of the clouds reflecting a jubilant sunset.
