Went to Shore Acres State Park to watch the unusually high wave activity which coincided with high tide. It was impressive.

Being a Brit, with parks you nice people from over the pond could put in your backyard, it was a shock to see this picture. The picture is impressive, as you say. If only I had the nerve to board a plane and see these wonderful places!

You have some lovely parks in Oregon have to make a return trip there one day, thanks for sharing.

Norm, we have our share of beauty in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy visiting new places and re-visiting old familiar ones.

Impressive indeed! I love the Pacific Northwest. It's definitely one of my favorite areas to visit. This is such a beautifully captured moment that really shows the power of the surf and why the ocean needs to be respected.

Impressive scene indeed, in comparison everything is so tame here. And great capture too.

This is an excellent composition with perfect BW treatment. I especially like the high contrast.

Thank you relms. I struggled with mid high to lower contrast. Due to all the sea spray it was a tough decision.

That's a beautiful shot Barb. We have no parks like that around here either. Nice place you live. My brother-in-law lives in Coos Bay and I will be visiting him this coming summer.

Mark, then a must see is Shore Acres. The park is located right there in Charleston outside of Coos Bay. Unfortunately you need incoming storms to view the large waves but it's still a beautiful park with lots of trails, be sure to visit the gardens at Shore Acres.

Tom, thanks for commenting always appreciated. Barbara
