On top of the world…
Seems like somewhere there was a challenge floating around having to do with the theme “up”… so, I came across this shot of some folks up on one of the rocks at the beach…
But why think about that when all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you’re alive to see?”
you get scale from the figures on the top of the rocks
I learned rather quickly that the beach shots didn’t seem quite as grand without a person to provide that sense of scale. The size of those sea stacks is beyond imagining.
Good photo for the challenge, Gunta. I bet it’s easier going up than coming back down.
Muy Buena Fotografía,… Sin Duda Un Paisaje Espectacular…
Muchas gracias.
Breathtaking shot! Thank you, Gunta!
Nice picture,thank you so much for sharing
This one is definitely a bit sci-fi
Yes, it can certainly get that way. I sometimes think I (and my followers) might get sick of this same old beach all the time, but it goes through so many changes that it keeps me coming back.
Thanks for a photo of those magnificent sea stacks proudly standing along your coastline. Those two look to be statues on top of the rock, they blend in so nicely.
They might get pretty wet at high tide. I’m pleased to bring you a touch of the beach you seem to be missing so much.
This is amazing! It almost looks not just like another coast but another planet! Too cool!
It’s a wonderful beach. Quite surreal at times, especially when it’s foggy and those sea stacks drift in and out of the wisps of fog. http://wp.me/pXX8J-1jB
I like the sea stacks on the plains of sand, I’ve seen them only in passing and havn’t had the time to explore that area of the coast. Moving slowly and carefully gives awareness to avoid harming the sea creatures, but that’s difficult to encourage among the more energetic beach-goers. The quote by Kerouac is one of my favorites, thanks!
The beach at Bandon is one of my favorites to explore, especially at minus tides. Glad you enjoyed the Kerouac.
I have a lovely sense of peace looking at this picture. It reminds me of holidays as a child on the west coast of Vancouver Island – and of holidays there with my own children now.
I’m so happy to bring you good memories.
It is such a beautiful place, where you live, Gunta…and while they shouldn’t be there, I do admire the figures in the image…they offer scale, of course, and demonstrate the free spirit that Kerouac inspires…. I need to read that book again…. Wonderful….
Luckily we both live in very different sort of places, but equally beautiful in their own way.
Ditto
The UP bit must be fun – not sure about the down bit!
The guy on the left almost looks like he’s contemplating jumping. I watched some kids and a dog climb that rock one time. The dog had to be carried back down.
Very nice photo Gunta. Huge rocks. Really getting the measure of them now.
Thanks, Chilly. Those rocks are very huge. But still a bit small by mountain climbing standards.
Nice shot, Gunta.
Thanks Hope*… I rather liked the pose of the guy on the left.
Looks nice and it seems there are quite a few where aspirant rock climbers can start training.
There are signs saying you’re not supposed to climb the rocks for fear of damaging the life forms that exist in the intertidal zones. This was taken at a very low tide and most of those rocks are out in the water at high tide. Of course, there are always those that disobey.
