YHVH on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea. (Ps 93:4)

The seas shout bravo and clap their hands at the name of Yehovah Elohim, the Almighty Creator of all things.

The spectacular Pacific Ocean is about 75 miles from our house. This ocean is usually anything but pacific (peaceful)! We’re here spending a long weekend including Shabbat.

I have a client who has a gorgeous home located on a hillside just above the beach. A short three minute walk puts us at water’s edge. I did some tree work for why them in exchange for several nights at her beach house. Please enjoy these photos.

Neskowin Beach ghost forest. These spruce tree stumps are a couple thousand years old. They’ve spent most of their lives buried preserved in the sand.

A quick walk on the beach before erev Shabbat dinner and before the next rain squall comes blasting in at us.

This sneaker wave caught me off guard and nearly nailed me.

A barnacle encrusted 2000 or so year old Sitka spruce tree stump.
