Cape Kiwanda

[Majeed Badizadegan]

This is a great spectacle of Cape Kiwanda. Large waves crash here and carve away at the west end of the cape. The west end shows evidence of erosion. When the waves crash just right, the surf shoots up 40 feet, and all bystanders are at risk of getting wet. But the payoff is this nice drainage pattern (as long as you can manage to keep yourself and camera equipment dry)!

Really good compositional angle ... Love the sweep of the sky. Reminds me of why I so love the OR coast.

Nice shot. This has a very calming affect on the viewer, at least it did on me.

And you live in Maine with Acadia and Schoodik Point and a very rich coastline...pobrecito, nothing for you, eh? I can't wait to get back up there to shoot again with more time than just a nasty, cold rainy day.

True, but it's a trek to get out there. I live in the part of Maine that is flat, featureless and mostly wetlands. Kinda like Florida, but with less reptiles.

Just jerking your chain, Runnah ...it's a lovely state and I really enjoyed the flatland as much as the coastline. I only wish I could have gotten further north. Next summer it is that and into Newfoundland/Nova Scotia.

It's just funny. People always think of Maine as this mountain filled state when in reality it is very flat and very damp.

Definitely! But when you're up there, there's sustained winds of 25mph and the looming chance of taking an unwanted saltwater bath, so in person not so peaceful

Note to self. Maine is a featureless wasteland with less alligators than Florida.
