Cape Disappointment After the Storm: A Silent Journey Through Nature's Resilience
There's an unparalleled beauty in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the wake of a storm. The ocean's relentless waves crash against the rugged cliffs, mist rises like a shroud, and the air is thick with the scent of salt and pine. For two days, Watson and I immersed ourselves in this dynamic landscape—camera in hand, hearts open to the wild.
Our adventure led us to some of Cape Disappointment State Park's most captivating locations:
Deadman's Cove: This secluded inlet, with its turquoise waters and forested cliffs, offers a serene escape from the more frequented trails.
North Head Lighthouse: Perched on a rocky promontory, this historic lighthouse has guided mariners since 1898 and provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Long Beach Peninsula.
Waikiki Beach: A small beach located within Cape Disappointment State Park, known for its scenic beauty and proximity to the North Head Lighthouse.
Benson Beach: A more secluded stretch of shoreline, perfect for reflective walks and absorbing the vastness of the Pacific.
A Silent Adventure Video
To encapsulate the essence of this journey, I've created a 20-minute silent adventure video. Accompanied by calming, meditative music, this visual narrative invites you to experience the landscapes without the distraction of words, allowing nature's sounds and sights to speak directly to your soul.

Photography That Tells a Story
Beyond the video, I've captured a series of evocative images—waves illuminated by the soft glow of dawn, the steadfast presence of the lighthouse against tumultuous skies, and intimate moments of Watson exploring the shoreline. These photographs are now available as fine art prints on my website, each telling a unique story of resilience and beauty.

Reflections on the Storm
The Bible often uses storms as metaphors for life's challenges, reminding us of both the trials we face and the hope that follows. As Psalm 107:29 reflects, "He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed." Standing amidst the aftermath, I was reminded of nature's cyclical dance—how storms, though fierce, give way to calm, and how beauty often emerges from turbulence.
