Amazing, even strikingly surreal scenes can happen at the end of the day on the north Oregon coast. Here in Seaside, taken over two different days, some particularly intense neon colors occur.

A Hidden Photo Tip: grab a tripod and take long exposures just after the sun has gone down. The camera often sees colors that humans don't, and your shots will yield surprises. But in this case, in the north Oregon coast town of Seaside this is what the humans saw as well. It's called "blue hour," but there's many more colors involved than that.

Spend enough time looking at the post-sundown sky and you'll notice remarkable changes in colors. The same scene can look vastly different, just minutes apart (as displayed in the top two photos). See video below as well.
