Sunset at the End of the Creek Shot on the Oregon Coast just north of Yaquina Head, where a rocky creek runs across the beach and directly into the Pacific Ocean. Vertical color photograph: the creek starts at the bottom of the frame, and runs to the ocean, curving gently to the viewer's left and then more sharply to the right before reaching the tide line. The water is clear. There are rocks, including a small boulder about a third of the way up front the image bottom and on the right, scattered in the creek bed, providing the dominant foreground interest. The rocks Peter out as the creek makes its leftward turn about 2/3s of the way up the frame. The final rightward sweep of the creek leads the eye to the sun setting in a blaze of orange over the Pacific Ocean, rays reaching out across the sea to touch the waves and the beach. The sun is reflected in the water at the tide line. The ocean waves are gentle. Above the sun are two thin lines of clouds parallel to the horizon. Above them are some wispy, horsetail clouds, as the sky transitions from orange to blue.
