On the 18th January 2010 i had the pleasure of visiting Port Orford in Oregon during a raging Pacific storm. We pulled into town about an hour away from sunset and the town seemed desolate. Over head phone/power lines swinging in the powerful winds, no cars or people, only Pelicans that were taking shelter in the streets.

A gap in the weather appeared and light started to play around the clouds. I ventured down to ‘Dock Beach’ where i took many shots and this photo captures the moment perfectly. Strong winds shifting the clouds, the rain was  now coming to an end and the soft light that gently broke out.
