Reminds me of this type of cover/churn on the Oregon coast in particular but also along the Olympic National Seashore in Washington State and the shores of Lake Superior, too. The mystery and power of the water as it erodes the rock and with the tides in a salt water environment the question arises, could one go inside if the water went out far enough and would one find a cave or cleft? (Makes me think of Doris Lessing’s novel The Cleft, too, I just realized!) Would there be petroglyphs, which are present along the Pacific coast at Cape Alava and elsewhere I am sure. Also, the sense of being mesmerized and not wanting to fall in! if one is leaning down and enjoying the spot. Usually there is spray and the temps are cooler, too. Sometimes there is a zephyr formed by the water and the rock. Rainbows will also materialize in such a place. Lovely photo!!!!
Qarrtsiluni (2005-2013) was a groundbreaking online literary magazine, one of the first to fully exploit blog software. Though we never quite realized our dream of creating a print-on-demand option for each issue, being online does mean that our back issues remain accessible indefinitely, so there's that. And we published some damn fine stuff — check it out.
