n a visit to Astoria Oregon, I had a hotel right on the Columbia River waterfront. The views from our room were great, but I stepped outside to capture this image of the sun going down over the Columbia and under the Astoria Bridge. Shot with D700 and 17-35 f/2.8 zoom at 17 mm hand held. f/7.1, 1/160, ISO 200. Processed in Capture NX2.

Great shot Rob - Are those old sticks the remains of timber ponds ? .

The remnants of old pilings can be found all along the banks of the Columbia River, especially in the Astoria area. Decades ago, when fishing was a huge industry in Astoria, the canneries were built over the water to provide better access to the fishing boats. Actually much of the old downtown area of Astoria was built over the water for convenience. These pilings are all that is left of that old downtown, the canneries having been left abandoned after the fish ran out.
