The Northern Coast of Spain is known for its steep cliffs, strong winds, harsh waves, and sea stacks - columns of rock that remain standing in the sea after erosion.
Despite this coast being so rugged, this particular rock has a very dreamy feel to it - out solo in the ocean, and the waves caressing it with their “barista swirl”.
The image shows an almost perfect triangle-shaped sea stack encompassed in a triangular viewpoint.
It took a hazardous climb over wet rocks with all my heavy gear in hand, to get to this very narrow viewpoint. It was so narrow, I could only open my tripod about a third. In addition, the waves kept crashing in. I managed 2 shots before having to leave again. Well worth it!

Playa Gueirua
With sweeping vistas of sea stacks, Playa Gueirua is one of most iconic locations in Spain.
Next to the grande landscapes of this coast are the small worlds. The details of rock and erosion lines, lichens, algae, and mussels and limpets.
