Description
Water flows off a sandstone geologic feature at Shore Acres State Park on the central Oregon coast near Coos Bay / North Bend.
Shore Acres State Park was once the home of a wealthy timber baron. After fire and financial losses, he sold the area to the state. It is a beautiful natural area that also hosts a five acre formal garden that is filled with beautiful flowers and also holds an annual Christmas light display.
The draw to me is the unique, uplifted, ocean-facing cliffs that are the result of plate tectonics. They sit at a 45 degree angle (that you can see in this image) and are a part of the Coaledo formation. They are full of holes that once held concretions, round stones that mineralized before the surrounding material. It's a fascinating place, and the eternal interplay between the relentless pound of the surf and the ancient immobile stone face provide perspective into our transience in this world.
