High-elevation view of Bayshore

This view of the Alsea Bay bridge and the Bayshore neighborhood (above) was taken by remote-controlled aerial photography, providing a unique perspective on the local coastline. The shanty is located in about the middle of the frame, just above the green tree line.

These photos were taken by a guy from Yachats. Ellis Lampman, who we met yesterday at the farmers market in downtown Waldport. His business, called Sky-View Photography, uses a small "hexacopter," a six-rotor aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing. He does amazing work. The shot below is a few miles south of Yachats near the Heceta Head lighthouse.
