1. interesting - "extreme" low tides are also the indication of an incoming tidal wave.

Great photo.

3. And there are signs all along the Oregon coast warning of Tsunamis ..

But this was a predicted "King Tide," and we were there for an art event on the beach that depended on a very low tide. However, as the Summer ends, and Fall storms brew at sea, there are treacherous "sneaker" waves.

8. That's a great pic -- I love Bandon Beach ...

I rediscovered watercolor painting there so the art event fascinates me. Looks like artists create in the sand? Truly a special place (I’m convinced it’s a portal for creativity).

10. They used to have a small private zoo

That was charming in the days before Covid, but took a very bad turn and was closed by the feds, and the animals they could save were relocated to various other zoos and rescues.

Downtown Brandon has some charming shops, and the local bookstore always has a large supply of signed books by (my favorite writer) Timothy Zahn, who lives in the area.

2. Love the earthy colors of the tree and beach

and can just imagine how all those different textures would feel, even the clouds. Wonderful photo….as usual. Thank you.

But usually better 125 miles north in Newport (in or around Agate Beach)

7. Reminds me of my visit to Nova Scotia.

9. Bandon was founded by a Scot so it's another "Nova Scotia"!
