Twilight At The Edge Of the World in Delake, Oregon

10There is a peculiar and keen feeling one gets when parking at the beach and letting the dark fall about one. You feel, especially if you're aware of Oregon's unique geography, that you're on the edge of the world. Town lights shine out into the darkness to the west, a beacon that few, if any, out on the Pacific, see, and the continent at your back. This is the heart of the Delake district of Lincoln City as darkness fell on the 17th. On the leading edge of summer, darkness fell slowly, but it fell hard, as it does on the Oregon Coast.

The sound of the surf nestled and comforted us; it was a feeling of sparseness but at the same time closeness and comfort.
