Receding coastline
We walked north from Quileute R. carefully dodging high tide waves on the upper beach that repeatedly pressed us against and beyond a jumble of oversized driftwood. The receding tide finally allowed a safe tripod shot on the beach when we reached "Hole in the wall". A fading winter day made the softness of longer exposures easy.
Washington beaches feature solitude, fir-topped sea stacks, and massive old-growth logs; the logs are borne on the backs of overachieving NW rivers to the Pacific from Olympic old-growth forests.
