 Dungeness Spit Beach

   July 21, 2022


    L1005478

   Photographer:  Joe LaCour

   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.
