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.
