The Pacific Ocean unleashes its full power along Washington's southwestern coast, where Cape Disappointment State Park offers front-row seats to nature's most dramatic displays. This seascape photograph captures a massive wave as it crashes against the rocky shoreline, sending spray skyward in an explosion of foam and mist. The turbulent waters of the Columbia River Bar meeting the open ocean create some of the most intense wave action on the West Coast, and this image preserves one of those spectacular moments when the sea's raw energy is on full display. The composition balances the wave's violent motion with the solid permanence of the coastal rocks, creating a powerful testament to the forces that continuously shape this rugged Pacific Northwest landscape.
