Sea Stacks and the Dead Duck

Last weekend included a foray to the Oregon Coast; a place that never fails to incite the imagination with its majestic combination of meteorological atmospherics and geologic drama.

Here then is an utterly unencumbered picture of death the likes of which only a nature outside of human sentiment can conjure.
