A perfect day to hike - low humidity and cool temperatures.
Elk Lake parking lot and hike to Panther Gorge via the Elk Lake Marcy trail. We will hike over the shoulder of Pinnacle and through Marcy Swamp to get to Panther Gorge, which lies between New York's first and third highest mountains, Marcy and Haystack. This area hosts some of the most remote backcountry hiking in the Adirondacks.
Cuts, bruises, a new 46er, hiking out in the dark (13 hour day) full sky of stars, shooting stars and alas, no bear or moose.
Just a sunset photo from Cannon Beach, OR. Haystack Rock specifically.. I think this has to be my single most photographed place, I always go back there.

Haystack Rock near Pacific City, Oregon. There are other rock formations of the same name along the Oregon Coast. This one stands slightly over 340' and was most likely part of a massive lava flow that moved through this area 20 plus million years ago. Speculation is that this is part of what once was a large canyon of basalt that eventually eroded away and left this rock formation. Taken Sept. 2012.
The Garden Wall is very steep! (We're hiking along it, not up it; at least until later in the hike).
This is sort of the tourist shot of Haystack Rock. Laurie and I had arrived at around 3:30pm in order to scout for sunset compositions. At low tide you can go out to the rock and explore the tide pools. It's tons of fun and very interesting. They have signs up that indicate the limits of human activity and which warn you about getting stuck out there by incoming tide. Most of Haystack Rock is a bird sanctuary so human activity is limited to the rocks on the right side of this photo.

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.
Despite its modest 1,959ft, Wainwright described this as the best fell top of all: “…for beauty, variety and interesting detail, for sheer fascination and unique individuality, the summit-area of Haystacks is supreme…a place of great charm and fairyland attractiveness,”
Haystack Mountain is 541 ft high in the center of Aruba. A volcanic cone. A pathway of 561 steps leads to the top.
the waves would crash way over the rocks... but i like this shot with just the glowing spray.

I will never get the iconic Haystack Rock shot...mostly because (1) I am not a nature photographer and (2) never seem to get to Cannon Beach in the summer for the sunsets because of too many classic car shows to go to and (3) because hundreds of photographers have done it beautifully ...Gary Loveless and Gary Weathers (www.flickr.com/photos/gjw_photography/6345794474/in/conta...) just to name two. Sigh. We were in Cannon Beach this weekend...rainy windy icky - typically Oregon. Bill got food poisoning from lunch yesterday - not a fun evening/night. Then I thought I lost my driver's license...too bizzare of a story to explain here....spent the afternoon looking and fretting. Found it. Bigger sigh.
