The weather was strong - with days where the wind was over 30m/s but never the less the Icelandic beauty was on full display. These images are from a brief roadtrip along the South Coast.

Cannon Beach, Oregon
The fascinating Hug Point Beach stretches 2 miles down from the Hug Point headland to Arch Cape sitting between Arcadia Beach and Cove Beach.
The Hug Point name comes with a very interesting story. Before Oregon Coast Highway 101 was built in the 1920s, the beach was used as a coastal road for both car and coach traffic. In order to get around Hug Point, traffic had to move at the low tide along the rocky headland close to it - literally "hugging" the rocks. During the low tide at the rocks north of the trail access, you can still see signs of where the roadbed was carved out.
Hug Point is popular for its colorful landscape, a beautiful stretch of sand, basalt and sandstone cliffs, marine life in the intertidal zone, caves, and a seasonal waterfall. The beach is ideal for picnicking, beachcombing, tidepool exploring, and surf fishing.
Hug Point State Recreation Site provides easy access to the northern edge of the beach. Walk a short paved trail and then a stairway down to the beach. You will see a basalt and sandstone headland on the right. This is Adair Point. During low tides, you can walk around Adair Point and have access to the north end of the beach including a small secluded pocket beach just south of Hug Point. This site features a big cave, the beautiful Fall Creek waterfall that cascades down from the sandstone bluff, and the old stage-coach road. At low tides, you can walk around Hug Point to Arcadia Beach.

...after I saw these awesome looking geologic features along Interstate 70 in Utah. The setting sun added to the mystique...
Spring and summer are the best time to witness this magnificent nature wonder in the Irish region. This is my second visit to the heritage site after my first glimpse in 2006. My first encounter with this geological formation was chilly and windy, but this time, I can savour its magical and spectacular scenery of these thousands uniformly-laiden molten solid rocks along the shore.

This photograph captures the early morning light as it illuminates Pectols Pyramid and the surrounding canyon. Taken from East Grand Wash Road, the image showcases the natural beauty and geological wonder of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The vibrant colors and breathtaking landscape invite the viewer to appreciate the serene tranquility and majesty of this rugged terrain, as the sun's rays cast a golden glow over the sandstone formations.
