Description
Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles south of the town of Forks, Washington. Per National Park Service, Ruby Beach is "Not in Park but right on edge." Like virtually all beaches on the northern coast, Ruby Beach has a tremendous amount of driftwood. It is notable for the number of sea stacks there.

The beach is so called, because of the ruby like crystals that get washed to the beach from the fresh water leaching onto the beach. These crystals are the by product of the glacier activity that used to happen in this area. (Source: ranger station)

These things are hard to photograph, at least the one's on Cannon Beach were when I was there. Nice work. v/f

Truly amazing capture of the tideflats, so many levels to this shot. Great skill is needed for this kind of art in photography and you have it. Voted.

Thank you very much for the nice comment, fave and vote! I agree, the entire coast on the Olympic peninsula is spectacular, and I cannot wait until I can go back there after work unfortunately forced me to move from WA to TX. I will post more soon.
