Between storms on the Mendonoma Coast.

Craig Tooley was out with his camera and photographed some of the big waves that have been hitting the coast. The first two show the action at Hearn Gulch, which is found in Mendocino County at mile marker 10.0 just north of Iversen Road. As you can clearly see in the second photo, there is an impressive blowhole there.

And Craig captured big waves and a rainbow - just lovely to see.
