Siletz Bay drift logs and the people exploring them
[An open expanse of sand land with huge amounts of drift logs. People are walking on the nearby sand and through the logs.]

Another view at Siletz Bay
[Rocky foreground has one large rock formation and in the distance are bandss of water and sand and water and sand (due to the bay formation)before reaching the surf of the ocean.]

A small bay north of Cape Foulweather viewed from 500 feet above the sea (according to the sign near the railing).
[The sunny image is on the left and the cloudy one on the right. Multi-colored blue water is in and around the jut of land which shapes this grass and evergreen tree-covered bay on the left image. The right image has battleship gray water, overcast skies, and the ground is more brown than green.]

Gull Rock, made of basalt and resistant to erosion, is approximately a mile from shore.
[Looking over the edge of a very sharp drop to the water below. There are whitecaps around several small rocks which are just above the water line. A much larger rock a bit further from shore is the one named Gull Rock.]

Cape Foulweather (The tip of land in the far right is appproximately 6 miles away.)
[The sunny image is on top and the cloudy one on bottom. Bother are several images stitched together to show the hillside and the expansive sections of the rocky cape. A number of buildings are visible on the shelf of land above the water.]

Closer view of the far right portion of the prior photos of Cape Foulweather
[Several images stitched together to show the view from nearby cliff of the multi-pronged landforms creating the bay on the sunny day. This low tide view makes and sand rocks in the water visible.]
