Not A Day To Sit On the Bench

Best on black. You can see about a third down from the top and about center "Thor's Well." It is a local spot for risking your life taking sunset shots. The waves shoot up from it and then leave water trails as you can see here. There was no way I was going to go anywhere near it on such a windy and high surf day, but I thought the little bench was a fun addition especially since I know I would have gotten soaked if I were sitting there.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Quite a dramatic piece of shoreline! Nice shot!

I have seen something similar in the South Pacific, they call it “blow hole” there the water spurts out, in a incredible force. I think this one is sucking the water in, instead of blowing it out. The bench is situated in a superbe spot, watching this phenomenon.

It seems that you would have to be super keen or super mad to venture down there for a photo - even on a calm day. :)

@angelikavr yes, it is a blow hole. This is after the blow when the water trickles down in streams into the hole

That's a neat shot - pretty dramatic spot - never seen anything like this.
