Looking out over the windswept Oregon coastline, ominous clouds gather overhead as a curtain of rain softens the horizon. A line of rugged rocks offer tenuous shelter to the seabirds and seals that live along this stretch of the Pacific ocean. Misty light filters down through the darkening, roiling sky, lending a soft glow to the moody seascape. As the storm moved ashore, I captured a few frames while thinking about how it is difficult not to feel small in a world of such overwhelming beauty.
