One hilarious part about watching the sunset at the most popular spot on the Oregon Coast is the elitist photographers who take to the sands just before the sun goes down. Most of them were set back from the waters edge about 40-50 feet, where one brave couple took to the water line, blocking several of the photographers(for about 5 seconds tops
. You would have thought they were blocking blood to the brain or something as anytime a person would step up to the waters edge, the photographers would scream and shout, "hey, HEY! get out of the way!!" or, "excuse me, excuse me!!" in voices filled with anger. We weren't brave enough to get in their way so we just watched from the sidelines 
but if there was ever a case of, "get over yourself!" this was it:
