Sunset view of a large wave crashing in front of Cape Disappointment Lighthouse near Ilwaco, Washington. Cape Disappointment is a headland located near the mouth of the Columbia River, at the extreme southwestern corner of Washington. It receives about 2,552 hours of fog a year making it one of the foggiest places in the US. Powerful winter storms often bring enormous waves into this area, as was the case on this particular afternoon.
