Just curious, you have all the details --what about Devils Tower in Wyoming? And Diamond Head in Hawaii or don't they fit teh definition? Oh excuse me, I see you have listed Devil's Tower.

I have a training conference in Canon Beach every year at mid-January. These type of shots do not exist then, but I am too busy sitting in training to get outside, even it wasn't raining.
