This is lowtide at haystack where you can walk right up to the rock and see all of the living things clinging for dear life. I was the only one of the three of us that did not freeze too death walking up there. Instead I took pictures (c;
The entire week I was at the coast there were wicked waves and small craft advisories as well as large craft. Looks warm and lovely but it's an illusion!
Haystacks, or Hay Stacks, is a hill in England's Lake District, situated at the south-eastern end of the Buttermere Valley. Although not of any great elevation (597 m, 1,958 ft), Haystacks has become one of the most popular fells in the area.
This fame is partly due to the writings of Alfred Wainwright, who espoused its attractions and chose it as the place where he wanted his ashes scattered. Its summit is interesting and contains a number of attractive rock formations and tarns.
The Western Fells occupy a triangular sector of the Lake District, bordered by the River Cocker to the north east and Wasdale to the south east. Westwards the hills diminish toward the coastal plain of Cumberland. At the central hub of the high country are Great Gable and its satellites, while two principal ridges fan out on either flank of Ennerdale, the western fells in effect being a great horseshoe around this long wild valley. Although lower than its neighbours, Haystacks provides the connection between the Great Gable group and the northern branch of the horseshoe. Immediately to the south east are Brandreth, Green Gable and Great Gable, forming the head of Ennerdale. North west are the well known trio of Buttermere fells, High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike.
The Buttermere- Ennerdale watershed descending from Brandreth is initially indistinct, running north west across a broad plateau. After half a mile it reaches the rocky protuberance of Great Round How (1,817 ft) and then its character changes completely. The watershed narrows to fine ridge, steep enough on the Ennerdale side and rimmed by crags throughout above the head of Buttermere. The beauty of the scene is completed by a succession of rocky tops and nestling tarns, until the high point is reached at the western end. A sharp descent over rock now follows, leading to Scarth Gap (1,460 ft), a walkers' pass between the two valleys. Beyond the ridge rises again to High Crag, a steep climb on scree.
The northern face of Haystacks is topped by crags which giving a soaring curved profile from the settlement of Gatesgarth at their base. On the left in this view is Green Crag, while the highest section, unnamed on Ordnance Survey maps is called Big Stack by Wainwright. Warnscale Beck, one of the feeder streams of Buttermere, runs down beneath Green Crag from its source near Great Round How. There are the remains of extensive quarries on the upper slopes of Warnscale, including Dubs, once served by a tramway from the summit of Honister Pass. Across Warnscale is Fleetwith Pike, a satellite of Grey Knotts.
The summit of Haystacks has a number of tarns. The highest is just below the top, generally referred to as the summit tarn but officially unnamed. Halfway along the ridge is Innominate Tarn, a popular beauty spot with an indented rocky shore and a line of tiny islets. At the eastern end is Blackbeck Tarn, a long slender pool which overflows through a cleft in the crags
The summit sits on a short rocky spine, set at right angles to the ridge. Both ends of the ridge have cairns, that at the northern end being the accepted summit. A lower parallel ridge lies just to the east. The view is excellent, the high points being Gable Crag on Great Gable and the western panorama of Ennerdale Water and High Crag. Crummock Water and Buttermere are also well seen. The foreground picture revolves around Innominate Tarn, lying in full view to the east.
Along with the more famous Haystack Rock of Cannon Beach, this one resides in Pacific City, Oregon and is actually larger but much further from shore. Both make for spectacular subjects.

Haystack Rock is a 235-foot (72-meter) tall monolith (or sea stack) on the Oregon coast in the northwestern United States, the third-tallest such structure in the world. A popular tourist destination, the rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot during low tide. Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a refuge for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

Haystack Butte comes in view around a blind curve on the Highline Trail. The sun broke out thru the clouds just then to light it up nicely.
Haystack Butte isn't very tall by Glacier Park standards (7486'/2282 meters), particularly with the backside of impressive Mt. Gould behind it along the Continental Divide, but it is a favorite destination for hikers, coming in halfway from Logan Pass and Granite Park Chalet, approximately 3.5 miles of easy walking.
The famous Weeping Wall is right below Haystack Butte where The Going To The Sun Road cuts across. During the early summer it provides a free car wash, and some grumbles by those in convertibles.
Thanks again for keeping me company on the Highline Trail. We're about halfway thru the images I'm going to post from this incredible trek.
Happy Friday!

The Oregon Coast is a coastal region of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to its west and the Oregon Coast Range to the east, and stretches approximately 362 miles from the California state border in the south to the Columbia River in the north
There are many photos like this, all with varrying compositions and art styles. What makes this a special rendition, is that this was my 5th exposure taken shortly after the purchase of my first DSLR. My complete lack of experience controling exposure shined (har har) through the original image, and it required many hours at the forge to make this come out the way I had originally envisioned. Through the use of present day post processing knowledge, I was able to squeeze what little life existed in this image. I feel much more at peace since revisiting this project.

As you approach Cannon Beach from the Oregon Coast Highway, you see this great mass of rock off in the distance through the trees. On arriving at the beach, you can only imagine the time and elements working away at the coastline to come up with this beautiful, natural sculpture.
How about a little Fred Astaire?
Needle in a Haystack
As we returned started on the return trip we turned around and looked back at the enormous rock formation known as the Haystack on the summit of Mt. Si. A man was climbing around on the cliffs to the south of the Haystack basin. I placed an arrow in the image so you could find him. It is difficult to convey the enormity of the mountain in a photograph. There is considerable distance between the ridge that man is on and the Haystack.
