Study of Rock, Water and Light Stock Image, Oregon Coast

Which way is up? It’s difficult to tell in this low angle view with the sun playing off the orange sandstone creating reflections and shadows that trick the eye. The bright blue of the splash pool acts as a mirror for the sky and surrounding sand cliffs. This image was taken at Shore Acres State Park on the Oregon coast near Coos Bay. Shore Acres was originally an estate owned by timber baron, Louis Simpson who sold it to the state in 1942. It now boasts 5 acres of spectacular gardens and is a popular area for gray whale and storm watching. The rocky and rugged shoreline has one secluded sandy beach often frequented by picnickers.
