Location City -  NESKOWIN
State -  OREGON
Country - United States   United States
About This is a rare site in Neskowin--You may not know how
spectacular it is unless you know what it is you're looking at.

They look somewhat like old, ragged pilings leftover from something manmade - but they are, in fact, stumps of a forest some 1000 to 2000 years ago or so. As many as 100 are sometimes visible in various shapes and sizes. It's theorized that around that time, the landscape changed rather quickly - in geologic terms - over a period of decades. Sand, sea or muck covered this forest entirely, killing them. This wound up preserving them, rather then destroying and scattering them as natural erosion might've done.

I wish I could've gotten closer or at least a zoom lens - but at that time the tide was rising and even these folds had to find another route in much deeper waters.
