Thank you, that is Thor’s Well just south of Yachats Oregon. Here are my other posted photos of it, some from an outlook several miles away so you can look down and see it in context. It’s definitely worth a stop. https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=99496143%40N00&sort=date-taken-desc&text=thor%20well&view_all=1 Do be careful, on one of my visits I got knocked over by a particularly large flood of water, both cameras went into the drink and my 15-30 stopped focusing. I sent it to Precision, they said it had water damage and could not be repaired and didn’t charge me, but it was working just fine. I think that banging the lens cap against the rocks might have just knocked a connector loose. It’s a hole in the rocks that connects to a cave and at tides over about +4 feet waves will push water up the hole, it will spout or flow onto the rocks and then flow back down the hole. On one of my trips I had gone to Devil’s punch bowl about half a mile North of there, and within a month or two, two different friends posted photos of Thor’s well.
