Thor’s Well

In the Cape Perpetua area of southern Oregon is a coastal rock formation known as Thor’s Well. At high tide it is fascinating to watch as it fills with seawater, spouts and then sucks the water back down with each incoming wave. If has become a hot spot for photographers to catch the spectacle. The shot above was taken during sunset. It was so incredible to see, that we returned to the well the following morning to shoot it again where I captured a different perspective below. (Safety warning: if you visit in person, take care as the rocks are slippery and sharp, large waves could potentially knock you down!)
