Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, Oregon Coast

The early morning sun illuminates the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, which sits more than a mile off the Oregon coast between Cannon Beach and Seaside. The lighthouse was first used in 1881 and decommissioned in 1957. Because of the severe weather and difficult access, it was expensive to maintain. Most recently it has been used as a columbarium. The ashes of about 30 people are placed there.
