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.

Shot from Rannerdale Knotts.
Haystacks, sitting above Buttermere, was Alfred Wainwrights favourite Lakeland fell. He loved it so much that he wanted his ashes to be scattered at the top.
In the bottom left hand corner is the cottage that appears in many photos of Buttermere.
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.
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.
Throwback.

The colours are as they were, right out of the camera! No change in post!
I noticed Terry had posted an excellent old photo of Haystack's summit tarn.. it got me thinking, so this one of my old shots..
Fleetwith Pike is a fell in the English Lake District in the county of Cumbria which reaches a height of 648 metres (2,126 feet). The fell is a well-known feature of the area as it casts an imposing presence over Buttermere and the Honister Pass.
