Natural water vents called the Thunder God wells seem to attract ocean water into the ground in photos taken from the Oregon coast.

The photo shared by Brad DeWald from Dallas, Texas on social network Reddit recorded a moment of deep hole nicknamed the Thunder gods on the coast of Oregon , USA, seemingly drained and then quickly filled up According to the waves, Live Science reports. 6-meter deep water holes are constantly empty or seawater is closed immediately before and after high tide.

"You can come very close to taking photos but be careful because everything is really wet, and there's always the possibility of getting into waves , " DeWald said.

Although the Oregon state coastline is very jagged and dangerous, the Thunder God itself has no death or mystery. The deep hole is the entrance at the top of a cave formed during the erosion of the basalt rock layer at the coast. Another entrance of the cave at the bottom of the pit leads to the sea. At low tide, shock waves hit the inside of the cave and visitors can look inside from the edge of the hole.

Around the period of high tide, the Thunder god's well (named after the god in Norse mythology) fills up from the bottom, sometimes splashes of white dust when the wave hits the rocky shore. Waves also overflow through the hole, making it feel like water is sucked to the bottom. This effect is a seemingly endless and full cycle.
