Newport's Yaquina Bay at Night:

It's where they've filmed Deadliest Catch: Dungeon Cove, where crabbing is easy to do and fun, and where the barking of big sea lions echoes throughout. Newport's Yaquina Bay is a many-sided area of recreation and repose, offering the high energy of tour boats, fishing boats and crabbing cruises down to the mellow sights of a sunset over the waters.

At night, it's a different and ethereal place. The waters cause the myriad of lights from the fishing boats to dance, and if you've got a professional camera on a tripod you'll see the air lights up with a multitude of colors from gasses in the air the human eye can't see. It's wondrous.

Hang out in the right place - such as the fishing pier on the South Beach side - and you'll see the boats drifting into and out of the bay, sometimes cast wild shadows into the foggy air and structures surrounding the waterway.
