      Summary Author:  Joe LaCour   
      
      There’s quite a lot to see on this image, taken just southwest of where   
      the  Dungeness Spit starts in the northwest corner of the   
       Dungeness Valley in Washington State. The Dungeness Spit can just   
      be seen at far left where it extends into the  Strait of Juan de   
      Fuca. On the cliff face, a number of different sand layers can be   
      detected lying above a clay layer at the bottom of the cliff.   
      
      A  lone stump has washed up on shore and is currently resting in an   
      upright position. It appears to be recently unearthed as it shows a   
      line of weathering. Just to the left of the stump, at the base of the   
      cliff, is one of many small  alluvial fans we noticed on our   
      visit. The sand grains and stones streaming down the cliff wall are   
      actively adding material to the Dungeness Spit. Difficult to observe on   
      this photo are three  bald eagles, soaring on the uplift along the   
      ridge top. Photo taken on May 8, 2022.   
      
      Photo details: Leica M9 camera, 35mm Summicron lens; f2; ISO 160; 1/125   
      second exposure; processed with DXO PhotoLab 3.
