FLORENCE, OR - - Pacific Ocean waves pounding on the volcanic basalt shore of the Devils Churn create spectacular images. Signs warn of rogue or sneaky waves with enough height to sweep unsuspecting photographers out to sea if not careful. The area is part of one of our favorite spots on the Oregon Coast - - Cape Perpetua in the Suislaw National Forest. The area was named by Captain James Cook, who in 1787 passed the headland on St. Perpetua Day (in honor of the third century (female) Christian martyr and eventual Saint.)
