Weird rocks at Shore Acres State Park

[Michael13]

Just north of the parking area is an area of strange shaped rocks. Early morning with just a bit of mist rolling in.

That is very interesting formations. If not for the last image, this could be some other planet.

I like the misty backdrop. Looks like you had fun with the moonscape out there. I really like how you framed some of these sea sculptures.

One of my favorite places to stop off along that part of the coast. I used to camp at Sunset Bay Campground a lot when I had my RV. I had always heard about the legendary hit surf at that place and got a chance to see it firsthand about 3 years ago. Those waves make it all the way to the edge of the grass and trees in your last shot. I posted a video of a few minutes worth of how these get shaped.

I thought you said rocks but then I saw dinosaurs. Lovely all the same.

Nice series, Michaael.

Wow Michael. I have been there to Shore Acres, but I don't recall seeing these structures at all. I need to start writing down my list of places I need to revisit next year.

As much as I like to pick favorites when there are several images posted, I can't. Each one of these is a winning image in my book.

Thanks Jameel. I often wonder if any planet has more photogenic rocks than we have here on Earth!

Thanks Alan. I think Shore Acres is the best place on the entire Pacific coast to capture winter storm action. I am planning another trip in December...

Stegosaurus maybe? That's my guess.

Thanks Jim! I forgot to mention these are all 4-5 image stacks.

I also get many location ideas from the variety of posts here at Focal World !

December is when I got to see the big ones come in. I have been there quite a number of times during winter months but only got to see 30'+ swells once.

Wow—Michael, great discovery and great images!
