“Chief’s Reflection”

Location: Pacific City, Oregon (2019)

Haystack Rock (Chief Kiwanda) is reflected in a pool of water on the beach during an overcast day.

Sometimes water will become stranded on the beach during low tide. But not always.

This photograph was taken during a minus tide when the water had greatly receded.
(If you look closely, you can see a lightly colored ring around the base of the rock that shows the average tide level.)

This stranded water provided a reflective surface for an opportunity to photograph Chief Kiwanda’s portrait.  

It’s by no means a perfect reflection of the basaltic monolith. The reflection is like a shadow – an impression of what the actual subject is. And the coloration of the rock is one which I haven’t seen often.

Photographed during the summer under thick cloud cover, the rock is unusually light brown and not its typical slate gray and moss green coloration.

Sizes are in inches.
Print and canvas sizing are slightly different.
