Cape Kiwanda is a beautiful part of the Oregon coast, topped by a sandy hill that will test your stamina as you take two or three steps for every single step of upward progress. There is plenty of grass and trees to provide detail against the sand, and the coast to the north and south provides a backdrop. I was interested in the dead trees, and this foreground tree is repeated by several larger ones in the near background.
