Shaken, Not Stirred

Have you ever seen an image that you couldn't shake? Something so wild, so incredible, it writes itself into permanent memory? That's how I felt when I first saw this sea stack. The thing was... there wasn't geotags or GPS coordinates. No "how-to" guide books. No Top-10 websites. Just hours on Google Earth... scouring maps and trying to imagine what the lo-fi topographic images looked like in real life. Then came hundreds of miles of windy coastal roads. First stop was a dud. Second had no way down to the water. It was the third stop when I walked up to this glorious pile of rock and The Matterhorn was found. Scrambling down the cliff, I excitedly pulled out my camera and broke the #1 rule - I turned my back to the water and a sneaker wave came, knocking me and my tripod down almost taking us out to sea. Shaken, not stirred, I picked myself up, shuffled up the cliffside, and watched as the horizon broke open and this spectacular sky lit up before me. ------ *Shaken, Not Stirred was originally minted on August 29th, 2021 to the OG Foundation Contract and has been migrated to The Art of Jordan Inglee 1/1 Manifold Contract
