Sandcut Creek

As promised, here are the images from Sandcut Beach.  It gets it's name from Sandcut Creek, a creek that cuts through sandstone, running out of the woods, and tumbling onto the beach.  It's a beautiful and secluded beach.  We only saw two other people while we were down there.  This is probably because the trail to the beach is unmarked, there is however, a small gravel pull off marking where to start for those who are looking for it.

Here is the creek, cutting these beautiful formations into the sandstone.  There was a man sitting and reading a book beside the creek when we arrived.  he told us that the creek is completely different every time he comes down here, but always beautiful.

The water as it tumbles over the edge of the stone to the beach below.

I love the compressed perspective on this one.  The Olympic mountains are hidden behind a fog bank that blends into the sky, making it look like you can see to the horizon, but maybe the horizon isn't really that far.

The creek was very yellow.

There were actually two sets of falls, but this is the one to the right.  The water forms a pool where it hits the beach, but then disappears below the rocks and sand instead of running into the ocean above ground.
