Thor’s Well, Oregon

Thor’s Well will look very amazing when the surf is high or when there is a storm. When the waves crash and meet wells with salty water, the flow looks like a waterfall sea. . . Double tap if you’d like to be here or tag a friend who need to see this. . . . #thorswell #thorswelloregon #naturalphenomena #naturalwonderoftheworld #naturalwonders #planet #nature #travel #ocean #oceansunset #nomad #lovetotravel #vacation?#naturelover #wunderlust
