[IRCA] Slightly OT - Oregon Cliffs and other stuff on video

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This post was inspired by the recent DXpedition reports from Oregon 
coast and may be of interest to a few of the folks on the list.

There's a program produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting called "Oregon 
Revealed: Coastal Wonder" with spectacular footage of the cliffs, 
beaches, and other natural features of the Oregon Coast. Most if not all 
of the footage was shot from a helicopter, so it provides views seldom 
seen.   Offshore scenes of waves crashing onto cliffs and rocks are 
quite plentiful, as are inland views of coastal forests and 
communities.  The show starts at Astoria on the Washington border and 
ends at Brookings, near the California border and was filmed in a single 
day.

Unfortunately, I discovered it by accident on one of my local PBS 
stations a few days agoi so I missed the first part, which might have 
shown some of Gary's favorite DX sites.

It doesn't seem to be available on DVD or downloadable video yet, but a 
YouTube interview with the director includes some typical scenes from 
the show:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NTXe2fs8vA Viewers in Oregon 
can apparently see it again on OPB on August 27. Those elsewhere will 
need to check withe their local PBS station.

Who knows, maybe it will help someone find new DX site.  At the very 
least, it may provide a lesson in Oregon Coastal Geology.
