Description

Calm seas beneath clear blue skies are seen through one of the three arches in the walls of Devil’s Punchbowl on the Oregon Coast near Newport. Accessing the punchbowl’s rocky interior is only possible a few times per month when the tides are lower than normal. At high tide during winter storms the water churns within the huge cauldron, a complete 180 from the scene here. The prominent red lichen on the walls adds a devilish touch as well.
