I found 13 more pictures and a video. Let me know what you think. Sunrise was at about 7:30 AM, and I started taking pictures around 6:50.
30 seconds of waves. Destruction Island in the background. (sound warning) https://streamable.com/6rjumt
I took 4 pictures of this rock at different times and angles. Each one is different, due to the waves.
7:06 AM, it's still kind of dark. I like this one because the water kind of looks like fog. 3000x2000
7:07 AM, same rock, different camera settings. I like the shape the wave makes as it goes around and over the rock. 3000x2000
7:09 AM, I moved down lower for a different view of the rock. 3000x2000
Rogue wave, run! The rock is in there somewhere. I did get swamped a few times, but luckily I had waterproof boots on and my socks didn't get wet. 3000x2000
7:20 AM, looking east. It was a nice sunrise. I'm kind of bummed I wasn't at a nice mountain, but it was a good morning at the beach too. 3000x2000
This picture relaxes me. What was I saying about missing the nice sunrise? Ah, well. Beautiful morning, I was happy to be on the beach. I like the detail in the rocks in the front and in the water. Curvy seafoam, some wave action, and nice reflection in the water. Colorful sky and tree silhouette. 7:23 AM. I made this one big. 6000x4000
Detail of Abbey Island (left) and waves hitting the rocks. 7:26 AM. 2000x3000
Destruction Island and lighthouse at sunrise, 7:30 AM. 2000x3000
I've looked in this direction before, but it changes every time. 7:39 AM. 3440x1440
Wanna-be sand. Right now just small rocks. 3000x2000
Sunrise colors in the sky have faded, but the sun is still rising here on the (almost) westernmost tip of the continental US. 9:03 AM and I like how the sun is hitting some of the rocks, but not all of them. 3440x1440
I saw these lines of pine needles. High water mark, maybe? 2000x3000
Here's the 'crowd' near the entrance to the beach. I had been by myself for 3+ hours as I walked the beach (behind me in this picture). There were a couple families, a couple photographers by the rock with the hole in it (which I didn't really take pictures of), and a few other people wandering around, all staying away from each other. 10:24 AM. 3000x2000
That's it for new ones. I was tired and didn't stop for more on the way home. It was almost 400 miles of driving, but I'm satisfied.
