Castle Rock sits off the north end of Gualala. Richard Hansen has a ringside seat to view the action as waves first hit a smaller rock in front of it. Richard recently photographed this interesting sea stack.
Here's one of my favorite photos taken a few years ago. Richard captured a "monster" wave seemingly attacking - or reaching out to hug - Castle Rock.
Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
Richard Hansen photographed a big wave hitting Castle Rock, which is off Gualala. Castle Rock is perhaps seventy feet high.
Here's one of my favorite photos Richard has taken of waves at Castle Rock - here's a monster wave!

It's the kind of day to step back from the bluffs, as big waves are hitting the Mendonoma Coast. Richard Hansen is fortunate to live where he can view Castle Rock, one of our many offshore rocks. This is what he photographed this morning.
You can see the mist from the crashing waves is drifting through the air. We have no fog today and it's downright warm.
Thanks to Richard for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
I will never become blasé about our beautiful sunsets - they are to be savored. Seeing the sun "set" into the Pacific Ocean is a privilege. Jerry Anon took this photo recently, capturing a moment of loveliness off Anchor Bay Beach.
Paul Brewer also photographs sunsets, often from his home in Gualala. Here is a recent photo from Paul showing waves hitting Castle Rock and the bluffs with a beautiful sunset to set it all off.
Thanks to Jerry and Paul for allowing me to share their photos with you here. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
Richard Hansen took this photo of a Monster wave attacking - or about to hug - Castle Rock, which is off of Gualala. Can you see the monster?
