Fisherman and his dog - a photo on Flickriver

This photo was taken with my old Sony Mavica FD85 with 1.3 megapixels at Sunset Beach near Warrenton in Oregon, USA. Sunset Beach is a lovely beach on the northern Oregon Coast.

About this photo: We stayed in house in Warrenton about 1km (0.6mi) from Sunset Beach, The first evening we arrived we decided to walk down to that beach. This is a big sandy beach which allows cars on the beach as well. Kind of different to see and experience.

As the sun was setting I noticed this fisherman on the beach with his dog and his lawn chair nearby. I thought the silhouettes of them looked so nice against the orange coloured sky. Funny enough this photo was taken with my old 1.3 megapixel point & shoot camera.

I added some saturation, contrast and a bit of sharpening in the post processing. After that I ran the photo through Neat Image to get rid of the access noise. I hope you like this photo too!

Thank you for looking and stopping by!

Some information on Sunset Beach: Sunset Beach is a small unincorporated community located between the cities of Seaside and Warrenton in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. Sunset Beach is located between U.S. Route 101, Neacoxie Lake and the Pacific Ocean. It serves as the northernmost access to the resort community of Surf Pines, and provides motor vehicle beach access. The "Fort to Sea Trail", which follows the route used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition when hiking from Fort Clatsop to the Pacific Ocean, ends at the beach access.

The Oregon Coast is the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon along the Pacific Ocean, constituting the western border of the state. Stretching 583km/362mi from the city of Astoria to the California border, the Oregon Coast is unique in that the entire coast is public land. Oregon law prohibits private ownership of coastline property.

The Oregon Coast is often divided into three regions
•The North Coast—from the Washington border at Astoria to Lincoln City.
•The Central Coast—from Lincoln City to Reedsport.
•The South Coast—from Reedsport to the California border, just south of Brookings.

There are no large cities on the coast, mainly due to the lack of deep harbors with access to the inland agricultural areas. The largest metropolitan area consists of the bordering cities of Coos Bay and North Bend on the South Coast. This area has a population of approximately 25,000 people. There is only one continuous highway along the coastline, the U.S. Route 101. The relative isolation of the coast from nearby large population centers has given the coast a reputation for being somewhat rustic, being a mixture of old logging towns, fishing villages, seasonal resorts, and artists' colonies. Tourism, fishing and logging are the major industries on the coast. The coastal region's popularity, combined with the fact that there are only a few two-lane roads from the more populated areas in the Willamette Valley contributes to traffic to the north and central coasts being named the worst tourist traffic in the United States.
