Description
Low tide on the beach near Cape Arago, Oregon. The "big rock" in this photo is actually a slab of sea floor that has been thrust upward as one tectonic plate (Juan de Fuca) subducts under another (the western edge of the North American plate).
The people are busily examining various forms of sea life exposed only when the tide goes out.

Ooh I love doing what these people are doing. It is amazing what you can find in the rock pools and on the rocks. This is a great slab of the seafloor that has been exposed in this excellent capture.
That's one impressive slab, Bill - I would definitely go exploring there...
impressive and beautiful capture, Bill!
thanks for sharing
Looks like the tides are pretty high if the sea covers this big boy. Reminds me of something washed ashore.
Very interesting image !!
Amazing, and makes one feel very small! Imagine "the big one" throwing about huge rocks like this. Eeek! I bet the folks down there are having a lot of fun with the tidal puddles. Big waves. Nice camera location, gives a very good idea of sizes and the forces involved in creating this. Keep up the good work! :-)
My kind of place I love exploring anything around the ocean. I never would have know that this wasn't just a big rock!!
I love the POV you chose. It really gives a great zoomed out view.
Interesting & lovely photo. xx
I should love to join them!
A splendid shot and info Bill.
Terrific angle! It was fun to watch them scrambling around down there, and that single slab surrounded by sand is quite dramatic!
Yeah, I'd be all over that slab.... :-D How fascinating, and a great shot, Bill! Good to see a post from you, buddy!
Superb capture. God bless.
Sweeet!
beautiful
great piece of the earth's history
