繼續前行,來到了Depoe Bay。
在一處海灣邊我突然看到很奇怪的地質景觀。
很希望能靠近一點看個清楚,但這角度被樹木遮住了。
如果能到另一個角度,應該能看得更清楚。
於是我們往前開一陣子,找到一個角度,但這是一家餐廳的停車場後面。當我厚著臉皮拿著相機走進去,沒想到還有幾個員工從後門走出來休息抽著菸。匆匆照了幾張相,趕緊走人,害怕被告侵入私人領土!
真的好奇妙,附近的海岸就這裡的地質不同,這岩石應該比較不耐海潮侵蝕,整個凹了這麼大一個洞,難道上面的住戶不擔心哪天會垮了下來?
這是石灰岩地形嗎?
來到更遠處,雖然能看到全景,但實在太遠了再加上濃霧,朦朧一片。
這是個紀念碑
這附近好多遊客,但因為濃霧我們只能直接掠過,事後才知道原來這裡是賞灰鯨的大本營。
Grey whales make their home near this rocky refuge 10 months out of the year, providing up-close wildlife viewing, sometimes on a daily basis. Tour vessels operate out of Depoe Bay and nearby towns, offering ideal opportunities for observing the giant mammals in their own habitat.
But Depoe Bay is known for another idiosyncrasy as well: Girded by impressive basalt cliffs that were formed millions of years ago by natural forces, Depoe Bay is the world's smallest fishing harbor. The 5½-acre port has acted as a safe harbor for vessels for many years but getting into the port has often involved great strategy and chance.
接下來,這座看起來還不錯的橋讓我們停留了一下。
Rocky Creek (Ben Jones) Bridge
有些橋從橋面看不出特殊之處,但從側面看這橋身真得很美!
這邊的海岸有股很嚴肅的氣息。
看到這棟房子了吧,竟讓我誤以為這正是咆哮山莊!
樹木被海風吹得傾斜著長,矗立在此淒寒的海邊,似乎隨時會有恐怖事件發生!
或許有人就喜歡這種與世隔絕的孤寂感,我雖也是同類,但我比較傾向於在山裡頭當個隱士。在海邊吹海風?謝謝,以後吧!
