If you can believe it, this wet and windy headland lies just up the coast from a desert landscape that inspired the 'Dune' novels and films. Beaming more than 20 miles into the open Pacific Ocean off the rocky Oregon Coast, Heceta Head Light has stood watch 200 feet above the crashing sea since its first lighting in 1894. The beacon sits halfway up a steep headland north of the Florence, a city known around the Northwest as a gateway to the Oregon Dunes: the 40-mile stretch of sand that inspired author Frank Herbert to create the arid and perilous planet Arrakis.
无与伦比的天堂之境
鸟儿遇见海滩
在珊瑚礁之上
错落有致的半岛
不会飞，但很机灵
濒临消失的天堂
大海、沙滩和日落
珍珠般珍贵的省份
