The drama in the wake of a storm is a story told in this monochromatic image of the Pacific Coast of Oregon. A tree trunk lost to the sea, the calligraphy of castaway bull kelp, the monolithic sculpted sea stacks are all players in nature’s masterpiece of serendipity. The dramatic clouds bely the raw power of the recent storm, casting shadows and adding depth to the scene. The interplay between the dark, moody sky and the textured coastline creates a sense of both awe and tranquility. The remnants of the fallen tree and the scattered bull kelp evoke a feeling of impermanence, highlighting the ever-changing nature of the coastal landscape.
