You also have the artist’s eye. It takes that to convey the beauty of the rocks effectively—which you certainly do.

Kimmeridge does not stand out like Lulworth or Durdle Door but there is so much to see there.

Thank you, Alastair. I guess I just have a passion for seeing patterns in everything including rocks. So I am afraid there will always be more pictures like these.

Yes, Kimmeridge is not so well known as the other places, and a little more difficult to find, but definitely worth the effort, especially when the tide is low.

They really are beautiful, and changing all the time with every new rock fall. They look different in different lights and, when they are wet, the rusty stains spread down the rocks. Your Oregon coast also has some really wonderful rock formations. I visited the beaches at Yachats, Neptune State Park, and Strawberry Hill a few years back and took some pictures there.
