Morning walks on the Oregon Coast beaches are relaxing and peaceful. The ever-changing weather creates interesting effects in the scenery. On the morning walk featured in today’s armchair photo tour, the somewhat cloudy-foggy atmosphere created soft, subtle layers in the clouds, interesting patterns in the sand, and muted reflections in the milky water.

Sometimes the lighting created an illusion as if the sky and ocean were one.

This walk is on a Sunday morning in the town of Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Rockaway Beach is 12 miles north of Tillamook.
