Description
Well, no, not really - I just made up that name as an homage to H. R. Giger, the great Swiss artist whose work I admire very much & who died recently. These eroded sandstone formations reminded me of his bio-mechanical style, which has been much imitated & has become a part of our cultural landscape. This was shot at Shore Acres State Park on the Oregon coast. Please zoom...

I was there sometime around 1975, and it made quite an impression on me. Love the shapes of the weathered rocks! What a wonderful shot!

Stunning contrast, patterns and depth in this outstanding beach shot. I remember Mr Giger for his design work on Dune and the original Alien movies. Terrific artist.

Well, I'll be darned. I don't believe I've ever been there, and obviously I've missed out! This is marvelous.

Not only is this a very interesting formation but you've introduced me to an artist I didn't know. I certainly see the connection. Giger's art is not my thing but your's is.

I'd only heard of Giger tangentially before now, and I see the connection too. Quite a complex and intricate body of work. As for the shot, it spills out to us from the background right into our laps (on the lower left). And the forms seem spilled there from fresh lava, with colonized 'caves' built by creatures as they cooled. The ultra blue-green water makes a great "upper frame" to the formations. And the swirly lines in the sand makes it look like it had been carved that way by years of being submerged. I don't know anything about the area (I'll look after commenting), but it's a very expressive flow of a shot. And your composition is really fine. I get the sense that you would never run out of inspirations, wherever you lived or went; because you find the energies inside things, and the way they flow in and out of each other; and those things are present everywhere. More musical and energy-laden work from you.

Amazing rock formations and that they still exist over millions of crashing waves!
