When we went to Shore Acres Park for Sarah's wedding I hit all kinds of new places. One of them was Simpson Reef, which I think is part of Sunset Bay State Park - I had never heard of either of these places, partly because you have to mean to go there. You don't accidently find them on the way to somewhere else. Anyway, Simpson Reef is a natural rock reef on the Oregon Coast that provides sheltered water for a variety of seals and sea lions. Park Rangers are there on summer weekends to help us newbies figure out what we're looking at. Here's a pic I took through one of the Ranger's telescopes - this is the largest island within the reef area, called Shell Island. There are numerous smaller rocks/islands sticking out of the water and they are all loaded with animals.
We went here twice, it's a cool place. I have more pics on flickr.

haha. When I first saw this photo, my first impression was it was the moon. After I did a second look, I realized it was one you took through the telescope.
