God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.
William Cowper

I’m both calmed and excited by the sea.
It’s rhythms are soothing, yet everything I see evokes a response.
Both the sites and the sounds feed my soul.

Last week we took a drive up and down the west coast from Newport Oregon to Eureka California.
You asked us what the sea makes us feel.
You wanted to know what was most interesting about the sea.

I looked back at the more than 1000 photos I took to see if they could answer your questions for me.

I like the atmosphere near the sea.
Sunny days are brighter and filled with reflection.
Colors are more vibrant and I love the salty smell and the sounds of gulls and seals.
But foggy days are mesmerizing.
They’re mysterious and vaporous.
