Description: This photograph was taken on Second Beach in Olympic National Park. It's a beautiful, secluded location that is well worth the hike to view. I released the shutter moments before the cold water swept past my feet. It's amazing how fast the Pacific tides roll in on the Washington Coast. Within just a couple minutes, the water was lapping well over my knees.
