Cannon Beach, Oregon
I'm back home from one trip, flying out in the morning for another - a whole 10 hours away from the airport.
Haystack Rock and Cannon Beach shot from Crescent Beach in Oregon. Framed by the bird rock haystacks.
Haystacks & Horses ...fortunately, there is a fence between the two or the horses would start eating the haystacks. A thin wire fence is enough - the old style manually stacked hay is indicative of an Amish farm.
Happy Fence Friday!
Another view of Murphy's Haystacks taken during our Eyre Peninsular, South Australia road trip last December.
Rock formations called Murphy's Haystacks.
These unusual rock formations aquired their
name from a Scottish agricultural expert who
advocated that to produce good hay farmers
should harrow their land for the best results.
While travelling with the coach he noticed
the rock formations in the distance and
informed the coach driver and passengers that
this farmer harrowed his land to produce so
much hay and fodder.
Being located on Murphy's property they
became known as Murphy's Haystacks.
From then on passing coachmen described
them as haystacks to their passengers.
However the Haystacks that are described are
technically inselbergs ( a hill that looks like
a rocky island rising sharply from the sea ).
More info in first comment.

Another shot from my trip yesterday morning to Buttermere. This is a handheld shot taken with my second camera .
CANNON BEACH OREGON
This 235-foot-tall sea stack is the third tallest inter-tidal structure in the world and is a popular tourist attraction. Although the image was post processed in full color, the unusual coloration is the result of high-altitude heavy smoke associated with forest fires in central Oregon moving north along the coast. The strong odor of smoke lasted most of the day.
We stayed three days along the Oregon Coast of Cannon Beach, and on this morning the sun had yet to rise over the horizon until this moment as I was walking up the beach towards Haystack Rock. With each step I waited until the rising sun lit up the entire face of this massive monolith. This was one of my favorite images from this just fantastic location for some R&R.
Murphy's Haystacks are inselberg rock formations located at Mortana, between Streaky Bay and Port Kenny on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. They are of a 'tumulus' form of weathered granite outcrop. They are made of a pink, massive, coarsely equigranular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase.
FINALLY got to check Cannon Beach off the bucket list... These rocks are so surreal looking. The light was killer as was my company. A great way to cap off an amazing weekend.
The 235 foot high Haystack Rock is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. This day it was displaying its reflection along with the Needles on the wet sand. Haystack Rock is home to many species of shorebirds which we viewed with 30x binoculars. We saw Tufted Puffin, Western and/or Herring Gulls, Pelagic Cormorants, Common Murres, Black and Surf Scoters, Bald Eagles, and a Peregrine Falcon. The Murres came in huge numbers and flew circles around Haystack Rock. www.seasideor.com/birding/
