Kiwanda, Cape, Oregon

Frightening monster waves against the rocks, and humpbacks and gray whales right up so close in the nearby bay that from the cliff you can feel the mist on your face, every time they spout. Many times mamas bring their babies right up close to the rocks, to feed on the abundant shrimp.
