Geo 365: April 14, Day 104: Wave-Cut Platform

Looking north from the south side of Devil's Churn, on a typical, gloomy, Oregon coast autumn day. The marine terrace cut into the basalt is quite apparent- we're standing on a similar platform on this point. Another feature to note is how abruptly the mountain rises out of the ocean.
