“The coast is an edgy place. Living on the coast presents certain stark realities and a wild, rare beauty. Continent confronts ocean. Weather intensifies. It’s a place of tide and tantrum; of flirtations among fresh- and saltwaters, forests and shores….” Carl Safina, The View From Lazy Point
I know, not a well staged image. Glaring light (shooting into the sun), washed out the image. But, this was a mesmerizing spot. Perhaps fifteen feet across, the water emerged from a sand dune to the left (out of sight) and moved toward a river to the right (out of sight). The resultant ongoing sculpting was, for me, fascinating.
the leaves, for the moment, stuck in time… A Oregon coastal river waiting for freshets and salmon.
“There are two sorts of curiosity – the momentary and the permanent. The momentary is concerned with the odd appearance on the surface of things. The permanent is attracted by the amazing and consecutive life that flows on beneath the surface of things.” Robert Wilson Lynd
