Wisps of some sort of seaweed that grew in big bunches. I don't know what it's called; I think of it as the "stash plant" because it looks like extra yarn bundles that my friends might have.
Haystack Rock is one of the largest free-standing rocks in the world, at 235' it towers above the area of Cannon Beach Oregon. It is home to many seabirds that nest here
Cannon Beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock, located southwest of downtown Cannon Beach, near Tolovana Park. This igneous rock has an elevation of 235 feet (72 m) and is often accessible at low tide, especially in the summertime. There is a small cave system that penetrates the rock and can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as a marine sanctuary, Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and events are not allowed within 100 feet (30 m) of either side of the rock. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.
I'm not a fan of posed photographs, so I waited for the official photographer to finish his stuff and while they were walking back from the beach, I got this.
