"Driftwood At The Coquille River Lighthouse" by Thom Zehrfeld

Welcome to my fine art photography site!

On this beach, is one the largest collection of driftwood that you will ever run across!

Winter is officially over and a whole winter's worth of driftwood has washed up on the beach.

Off to the left is the Coquille River (not visible in the image) and, the Coquille River Lighthouse.

In the background is the town of Bandon which is on the Southern Oregon Coast. The original name of the Coquille River Lighthouse was the Bandon Light" and commissioned in 1895.

The lighthouse became active in 1896. The light helped boaters avoid dangerous sandbars in the Coquille River and led them safely into the harbor at Bandon.

The light contained a fourth-order Fresnel lens. In 1936, a large fire swept through Bandon and destroyed much of the town. Bandon became bankrupt.

There was a decline in shipping and, the lighthouse was shut down....

Thom Zehrfeld lives in Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast and, is fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful spots in Oregon! The ocean, the beach, the sea's fresh air naturally inspires his art! There is always something exciting to capture with a camera! However, it's not all seascapes...Thom likes capturing automobiles, trucks, motorcycles. And, he travels many places to do just that!

Photography awards include the “McLoughlin Promenade” which is displayed at the Clackamas County Historical Museum in Oregon City. Also, he has won the Springbok National...
