Sea Stack Afterglow

Skirting the Olympic rain shadow, we headed to the coast and lucked out with a delicate, soft sunset. The last time I was here, the sun set on a low tide that allowed us to explore the large stack, startling a seal from it's nap. This time, the ocean intensity was cranked up, even attempting to steal me off the beach a couple times. Though the long exposure belies it's energy.

HDR destroys the delicate water texture, so this image is a manual blending of 4 exposures
