Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 9 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
We ate at the Rogue Ale Public house pub at Pier 39 and watched the ships, sunsets, and sea lions at the 132 year old Hanthorn Cannery, located at the foot of 39th Street in Astoria, Oregon, on the mighty Columbia River. I am really digging into my old pictures now because I haven't had a chance to get out with my camera. Once the move is over......
I am on holidays from August 17th until August 26th ....whee!! Although I will be home for the first few days, on the 21st we are heading to the States mainly to go to Tacoma Washington to attend the Gaither Gospel Homecoming Tour on Friday the 22nd. We are in for a real treat. We will also be tourists for a while and hopefully will come back with lots of good pictures. Anyhow, all of that to say I probably won't be visiting your wonderful sites for at least the 21st - 26th, but I promise I will catch up. I will prepost.
This is very pretty, Marion. The composition is super and the sky superb!

Great silhouettte, in two layers (rocks in foreground, bridge and boats away)! That's a very welcome variation. I like how you gave much room for the sky, keeping this horizon low.

They sky in this photo is gorgeous! The framing is just perfect and the silhouette of the bridge is very attractive.

Beautiful shot Marion, and the framing is well balanced ! The rolling storm clouds and the rocky feature is very well composed.

Very nicely done, Marion!! I especially like the silhouette of the heron on the left side of frame. Will call soon so we can both go out!
