Richly textured, the artwork combines the nostalgic feel of vintage travel posters with a contemporary crispness, making it a perfect piece for any lover of maritime charm or Oregon's natural landscapes. *** About Haystack Rock: Standing at 235 feet, Haystack Rock is one of Oregon’s most recognizable landmarks. This sea stack, formed by lava flows followed by erosion, is protected as a part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Its unique shape has not only fascinated geologists but also captured the imagination of photographers and artists worldwide. Home to puffins, gulls, and other marine birds, Haystack Rock is a vital nesting site and offers abundant tide pools that teem with intertidal life, accessible at low tide.
