Astoria Sunday Market

The Astoria Sunday Market was in full swing upon our visit. Happy shoppers, and a rather confusing windshield.

Astoria (Part 12)

Three more views of the Washington State end of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, this time emphasizing a ruined pier and decayed pilings in the foreground, reminding us that this now touristy waterfront of Astoria was once a busy port.

Back to Astoria (Part 9)

After the vivid color of Portland's Alberta Street, we return to the somber monochromes of Astoria, where Pacific Ocean cargo vessels navigate the treacherous bar of the Columbia River. I'll be showing a few such photos each day for the next week or so.

Wharf, warehouse, and some of the machinery for loading and unloading.
