Tree and Cumulus

Cannon Beach, Oregon Coast

At the overlook at Ecola State Park are several trees that provide a nice foreground for Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock in the distance.  Cumulus clouds come in off the Pacific, hit the landmass, and begin to build.  I was fortunate to catch the tree silhouetted against the powerful cumulus cloud.  This was taken with a Rolleiflex twin lens camera from the 1960s and cropped from a square to a vertical orientation.
