    SeaPalms_CapePerpetua_2892.jpg
  • Pacific Ocean waves flow into the remnants of a blowhole at Cape Perpetua on the Oregon coast. Blowholes are essentially skylights in ocean caves.

  • Strong Pacific Ocean waves pound the rock that is home to Tillamook Rock Lighthouse near Cannon Beach, Oregon. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, also known as Tillamook Rock Light, operated from 1881 to 1957. It was the most expensive lighthouse in the United States to operate because of strong storms that hampered construction and signficantly damaged the lighthouse after it was completed. Sometimes called the Tillamook Head Lighthouse, it is now privately owned and is unofficially used as a columbarium.

  • Pacific Ocean waves shoot 50 feet into the air through a tiny hole in a lava shelf off on the Kauai coast known as the Spouting Horn blowhole.

One day she chased a fisherman into a lava tube. He escaped; she's still stuck.

  • The early morning sun illuminates the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, which sits more than a mile off the Oregon coast between Cannon Beach and Seaside. The lighthouse was first used in 1881 and decommissioned in 1957. Because of the severe weather and difficult access, it was expensive to maintain. Most recently it has been used as a columbarium. The ashes of about 30 people are placed there.
