Moss, Fern, Forrest, Bunker

bh19k4-46b

Came upon this scene while hiking in Oregon’s Ecola State Park, near Indian Beach.  It’s an old concrete bunker built during World War II high on a cliff-top, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  It once housed radar equipment used to search the north-pacific skies for approaching enemy aircraft.

Long deserted, it now stands quietly amid moss, fern, and forest as a testament to turbulent times.

Being Oregon’s coast, the day was speckled with fog.  The greens of the forest were almost surreal.  The dappled light reaching this scene was nicely diffused.  The fog acted as a giant, photographic soft box in the sky, rendering mostly even light across this scene.

    Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to create something worth my time to read. I am all over the net and I see so much useless junk that is just written for the sake of putting something fresh on their site . It takes devotion to create good stuff, thanks for caring.
