Located on a peninsula just 3 h away from Seattle it's a beautiful national park with ocean beaches, mountains, an old rainforest (!) and lot's of things to see. My first meeting with the Pacific started in a thick-thick fog. One of most impressive things - huge logs on the beach. It seemed to be bones of the dead, a kind of an abandoned battlefield.. Note the pine tree in the background, which lost all of the sand around its roots and is still fighting and holding. Crazy wish to survive.
This seems to be a sculpture of crying faces, doesn't it?
These stones and the ponds between them are a very special habitat in the low tide periods. Every single stone and pond is full of living creatures - sea stars, mussels, sea anemones.
Sea anemones
Note the crowd of the sea stars attached to the stone close to the water on the left!
