What Is It?

Here it is...

here is my mystery

and

I need to solve it,

because it's driving me crazy not knowing.

Now if I had been a good photographer,

I would have shot this with a zoom lens...

but I didn't.

Still I have to know---

so here are the clues to this mystery.

The Mystery:

What is that formation in the background?

(offshore)

Location:

 the beach at Barview County Park, Garibaldi.

This is on the beach, located north of the northernmost jetty

looking north.

Possibilities:

 Twin Rocks,

as seen from the south?

If so it doesn't look at all like it.

The Tillamook Head Lighthouse?

I would think we are way too south on the coast to see this former lighthouse, now columbarium...

aren't we?

My eyes want to make that top part into a lighthouse...

am I just wishful thinking?

Or is it something else?

Update: Mystery solved....I know what it is now, do you?

I first found the answer here:

(the author describing what he saw at the Barview County Park beach looking north)

And you can see a very nice closeup of what is on that rock here:

(you will think you are there with the sounds and sights of one of my fav places)

And the answer is:

Twin Rocks

(a view from a beach north of the rocks).

Isn't is amazing how a different perspective changes everything?

I would have said it was a lighthouse too:)

Blessings,
