19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
King Tide

On the Oregon Coast the King Tide is a rare occurrence. Water rushes in for a tide that is higher than normal which results in flooding and erosion. The clashes between waves and rocks create stunning displays. This was taken from a bridge over a chasm along the coast.
