Some visitors travel a little farther to Seaside than others.

In any case, there are lots of interesting things in the skies above Seaside, namely when Tillamook Head is "wearing a hat," as they say. Keep going either direction on the virtual tour for pics of when clouds coalesce around the headland - and strangely around the headland only.

Among the other flying objects in Seaside: see below for pics of the always-mammoth Fourth of July celebration the town is immersed in. Easily ten thousand people pack into that town and along the Promenade.
