Image Description – The photograph is of a natural phenomenon known as Thor’s Well at Cook’s Chasm, OR. The shot was taken just as the sun was setting and the tide was coming up. As a stroke of luck, this photo captures the stillness at the edges of the well and has a glass-like appearance, hence the name of the shot. This is a fantastic location to sit in awe of the beauty and force of the ocean and I was fortunate enough to capture the moment to look back on for years to come.

Location – Cook’s Chasm, OR

Biography – I am an amateur photographer originally from Red Wing, MN. I am transplanted in Connecticut, currently in my 13th year in the United States Navy. I reside in Griswold, CT with my wife, formerly Katie Hoisington of Red Wing and daughter Kaylin. I am stationed at Naval Submarine School in Groton, CT as a Fleet Responsive Training Instructor. I have completed tours on three operational fast attack submarines. Most of my photos are from the New England area due to my current career that pays the bills. I still occasionally get home to Red Wing. I take my photos using a combination of a Pentax Digital SLR, a Pentax film SLR, I primarily shoot landscapes, nature, and some architecture.
