Legend of the Octopus Tree at Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint, Oregon - Sitka Spruce - (PICEA SITCHENSIS) The Octopus Tree is a massive Sitka spruce with branches growing like giant tentacles from its 50-foot base. It is situated approximately 600 feet from the scenic viewpoint. The tree�s odd shape, according to local historians and Tillamook tribal descendants, comes not from the ravages of wind, as some have said, but from its function as a ceremonial site, shaped to hold cedar canoes and other ritual objects.

Born and raised in New Zealand, I have loved to take photographs ever since I was given a plastic 35mm camera on my 13th birthday. I take photos of whatever looks interesting or spectacular, but what I enjoy most is being outdoors and capturing the beauty of nature. If you like an image but want to change something minor, like the cropping or brightness/contrast/saturation, etc, I would be happy to work with you to customize an image to fit your needs - just ask! Enjoy my portfolio and please come back often to check out the latest additions.
