At the Earth’s Great Heart
Lies a Well and a Fountain,
A White, Storm~Swelled Sea.
~Noelle Renee 2/24/11
Thor’s Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland – a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides. Thor’s Well ( a giant sinkhole about 20 feet deep) is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. It alternately “launches and swallows water as if it were a living thing.” It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean's power. This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch - at high tide or during winter storms(excerpt).

He finds himself gravitating towards landscapes at a bit of an obsessive pace. His day job is as an Airline Pilot, He is glad to have found 1x.com as the work there is completely inspiring.
