This is Haystack Rockwith surrounding other rocks.. at Cannon Beach, Or. It is one of the most photographed images in the world. I took this view from the North side of it, from Ecola State Park. Being its a monolyth..it draws many crowds. When the tide is low there are wonderful tidepools at the base of Haystack. Its so much fun to see the seastars, the sea urchins, shells, small fish and little crab. And on the rock itself there are usually many seagulls, and at times when the tide is high the seals are swimming around too. It was such a perfect day! I sat at the picnic table and just "breathed in" the salty sea air..and forgot all about anything else...
