Cannon Beach

Leaf 369 – Looking Back

 

Growing up in the 1980s, I remember going to see the film, ‘The Goonies’ (1985) when it first came out at the cinema. I was exactly the right age to see this movie at the time – the same age as Mikey and his friends, and so the film has been one of my firm favourites ever since. Fast forward several decades to 2012. Where I found myself working in Portland, Oregon, and so I decided to make a pilgrimage to Astoria and Cannon Beach, where I was impressed by the sheer power of the ocean. A mini-Goonies adventure all of my own!

 

 

Relentless roar –

roller upon roller

breaking at Cannon Beach.
