It took me two years to get this angle of the Heceta Head Lighthouse at sunrise. I had to scale up the back side of a steep hill and there is no railing to hold on to. On the other side is a steep drop and the Pacific Ocean. I had to wait for the perfect weather conditions to be right. On the morning I got it, there was no wind, it was 60 degrees and the shrubs had been cut away all the way down to the base rock. I used the rocks to hang on to as I slowly ascended to where I needed to be. Good thing I had my super wide angle lens or this would have been a bust.
