RHH's photos with the keyword: devil's punchbowl

Coming down out of Independence Pass in the Colorado Rockies, we stopped briefly at Devil's Punchbowl on the Roaring Fork River. We did not stay long, since there were a number of drunken teenagers there who were jumping off the rocks into the river below in spite of warning signs.

The American Herring Gull or Smithsonian Gull is considered to be a subspecies of the European Herring Gull. This one was photographed at Boiler Bay along the Oregon coast as we made our way south to Yaquina Head.

This was taken at the Devil's Punchbowl State Natural Area along the Oregon coast. The Devil's Punchbowl is a huge hole in the rock worn by the swirling water of the tides.

The Devil's Punchbowl is the large hole in the rock visible on the right of the photo. It is worn by the tides as they come in and out and is part of a State Natural Area named for this formation.

This would not be a pleasant place to find oneself when the tide is coming in. It is named for the swirling water which fills the hole at high tide.
