This splendid video will take you to the Oregon's wonderful coast and Lighthouses. It is spectacularly shot, dramatically written, and well produced. You will not be disappointed with the well read narration reminiscent of Charles Kuralt himself. The rich history is told dramatically told through historical photos, crisp images with dramatic lighting and even old ghost stories. The beautiful and relaxing soundtrack is written by the multi-talented filmmaker himself.

This is not your typical dry news documentary with average daylight photography and academic narration ... but rather a wonderful dramatic story of Oregon's lighthouses, their history, their beauty, and splendor. A must have for any lighthouse lover to add to their lighthouse collection!

My husband and I went to Oregon last summer and I remember seeing this video in the sea lion caves gift shop. I regretted not getting it and am glad I found it at amazon.com. For anyone who likes lighthouses or the Oregon Coast, this DVD is a real treat. The quality and filming are exceptional. There are nine lighthouses featured. I enjoyed the narration because it included a lot of really interesting background information on each lighthouse such as the history of the lighthouses, how they were built, and the lenses. You can also run it on your computer if you have a DVD drive.

I found this video to be full of information on the history and details of each lighthouse, but it wasn't boring at all. The video moved along at a good pace, the narrator had an interesting voice full of "character", and some of the sunset images over the lighthouses took my breath away. The music and ocean sounds lent a dreamy quality to the production. I wish there could have been some video of the inside of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, but I guess the island is off-limits as it is a columbarium now.

When the video ended I had a strong urge to jump into my car and drive up to the Oregon Coast to see if the lighthouses were really as beautiful as they looked in this film!

I bought this for my 8 year old son, who is fascinated with lighthouses. He has watched it many times. We have visited nearly every lighthouse in Oregon, Washington and California and this is an excellent addition to his collection. Thanks for a quality product (delivered in record time).

In memory of my loving sister, Kathryn Marie Hall-Beckner. We truly miss you. See you again, all in God's timing. Love your sisters, Patty & Linda

I wasn't completely satisifed with this DVD. I felt it could have oferred more Scenery of the Oregon Coastline.
