I love to watch the power of waves as they crash on the rocks along the California coast. This was on a day when the water was quite calm, I can't imagine what the waves generated by winter storms must be like!
This offshore sea arch is the namesake of Natural Bridge State Park in northern California. Constant pounding from the surf has eroded a hole through the rock to form the bridge. This rock had been attached to the mainland in the not too distatnt past. The rock is home to lots of gulls and cormorants. The white stuff on the top of the rock is not snow! map...
This arch is an interesting formation at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in California. We enjoyed watching the waves crash through the large rectangular hole. Over time, it will get larger and larger and the large rock will become two. map...
