Just south of Yachat's Oregon you'll come to the Cape Perpetua Scenic. And Thor'sWell. This shot doesn't really do it justice.
The well was created when the roof of a sea cave collapsed. At high tide the surf breaks over the rocks around the well and then drains in the remains of the cave below. On really great days the surf also blasts up through the mouth of the well and then collapses. Thor's Well is beutiful but dangerous. Get too cloe when the surf is high and you risk being washed off the surrounding rocks and into the well. It may only be twenty feet deep. might as well be a hundred with sea water pouring in every few seconds.
