5/4/2024 - Sterling Nature Center Bluffs

I'd never been to "the bluffs" though I've heard of so many talking about it since my college days (early to mid-1990s).  After seeing some posts in a Facebook group, it was in the plans to do this year.  My oldest friend was in the area and suggested we do a photoshoot there so I was onboard.  I have to say that I was very impressed with what I found to be incredible structures that seemed to defy gravity and logic.  We were lucky that there wasn't much of a wind at all so it was incredibly peaceful though I could say that if there was a light wind, it would be nice to listen the waves as well.

Site Notes: No accessibility to this location at all.  Not a horrible walk down to the shoreline though.
