Vertical black-and-white photo: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse as seen from the Tillamook Head Trail in Ecola State Park. Abandoned in 1957, it is now home to sea birds and sea lions. In the foreground is the Pacific Ocean. A small wave breaks in front of Tillamook Rock as it thrusts out of the sea. The rock is black, along some edges, but white from bird poope in most places. The battered light house with its ripped open lantern house sits atop the rock. On the rock, are birds and a sea lion. More birds fly just to the right of the lighthouse. A pair of pelicans are visible against the sky, flying right to left across the scene, away from the lighthouse as they start the daily search for fish. In the background, a cloud bank looms over the scene.
