What I thought when I was shooting these two pics was, wow, the positive & negative shapes in these two separate photos are almost identical, but consist of the same (almost) subjects. Whoa! I thought that was somehow significant, or in any case, pretty neat!
Ruby Beach, part of the Northern Pacific Coast, is characterized by it’s pebbly shore, covered with stones softened and rounded by the sea, as well as piles of drift wood logs that made their way out of the Olympic National Forest.
The juxtaposition of the coastal evergreen forest to the ocean was was something I had never experienced. It brought to mind the delicate shale cliffs and deciduous forests that overlook Seneca Lake, but on a much grander scale.
“Sea Stacks”, huge, jagged rock formations rising out of the water and mist, add to the drama and character of the beach. I could have spent the whole day exploring that shore, mesmerized by the sculptural faces and figures that time, weather and water created out of rock and wood.
