Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

On the Oregon coast.

By Flickr contributor Jonathan Hanlon

From LighthouseFriends.com:

One mile west of Tillamook Head, a rock rises from the ocean. In the shape of a sea monster, it is where old Nor'easters go to die. Where Indians believed under ocean tunnels inhabited by spirits came to the surface. Where sheer cliffs drop straight into the sea to depths of 96 to 240 feet. Where clinging to the top, fighting off the gripping hands of the sea, stands a lighthouse. A symbol of the precarious line between human endeavor and the forces of nature.
