Many people, I believe even the locals of Oregon do not realize the existence of an amazing nature place called Thor’s Well. Located at Cape Perpetua, Oregon, the surf surge rock without doubt is very unique. In any event, it makes a great photo. It occurs at a moderate to high tide with strong surf. While I think it is best photographed near sunset, I’m sure good photos of it could be obtained almost any time of day. However, it is not easy to take a snap of the place because of sharp rocks are everywhere. Plus, a very strong surge could sweep right up and be very dangerous. The hole can be seen from the parking area at the far end of the rock shelf on the north side of Cook’s Chasm. Following are the photos taken from very brave and dedicated photographers.

I want to go there and look for Cthulhu in my mini-sub.
Impressive, indeed…
Great article, I think you covered everything there. . . I would say freelancing is quite hard especially if you are not used to working on your own, can be quite hard to motivate yourself also.
Breath taking and fabulous places.Want to travel to these places.

Looks like this site copied and pasted the text directly from the website of the guy who discovered Thor’s Well.

Amazing!!! A real nature wonder! 🙂 And you have chosen beautiful photos!
This looks amazing. Anyone know whether hollow-earthers see this as a potential way to the real down-under?
