Bandon's Coquille River Lighthouse:This lighthouse is quaint and unique. Its design was never used for any other lighthouse. It just had its 102 nd birthday on February 29 of this year. We designed a 2009 Coquille River Lighthouse Calendar that we sell in local shops and at the lighthouse gift store in the lighthouse itself. |
 This is my favorite shot of the lighthouse. It is placed at the mouth of the Coquille River across from Bandon.

 This is a stark but architectural shot of the Coquille River Lighthouse. |
 We get lots of very nice sunsets here in Bandon, and it makes the Lighthouse look quite nice. |
 Storms are constantly repositioning the driftwood around the area. Here, it makes a nice frame. |
 In this shot the lighthouse has been partially restored and repainted. It still may change color again. |
 This photo was taken in early spring when the flowers are just beginning to bloom. |
 This is another good photo with the driftwood as a frame. This shot washed away almost immediately. |
 This photo is taken from a view point just off of Beach Loop that skirts the beach around Bandon. |
 This photo was taken through the pilings just across the Coquille River from the lighthouse. |
 Again, the sunset makes for a very quaint view of the Coquille River Lighthouse.. |
 There has been quite a bit of controversy about what color to eventually paint the lighthouse.. |
 There are quite a few flowers that bloom quite early around Bandon. This is early spring with the gorse in bloom. |
