Thor's Well
Thor's Well
Thor's Well has seemed to have always been my "Eleanor." For those that are unfamiliar with Gone in 60 Seconds movie, "Eleanor" was the elusive car that ALWAYS got away and ALWAYS seemed just out of reach.
That has always been Thor's Well in Oregon. It's been on my bucket list for almost as long as I have owned a camera. I have been near the area so many times, but have been unable to work out being able to shoot this natural phenomenon.
This location is unique in that you need so many components to line up in order to be able to photograph it. The tide has to be high enough with just enough waves to crash through the front of the well and come back out the top. Also, as with all photos, this perfect timing needs to line up with the lighting and sky needed to combine with the spectacle taking place in front of you.
This has never aligned for me at a time that I was able to visit...that is until this last week. I finally was able to visit Thor's Well and witness this remarkable blend of nature on the Oregon Coast.
And, although it goes without saying, Thor's Well did not disappoint. It was well worth the wait.
